How to Dump Stress and Have Fun
Stress is killing if not properly managed. It hampers your good health. That’s why you need to dump a stressful lifestyle and have fun.

Spend time with friends: This is the glue that holds many together. It offers a safe place to vent frustrations, share dreams and aspirations. Having fun with your friends is usually easy, especially when you love each other’s company. Plan a weekly get-together with your good friends, and try to eat out every week. Not only will you enjoy good scenery and dishes, but the change can spice up your conversations as well.
 
Get a little exercise with friends: Invite your friend to the gym and see how fast the pounds will melt off and you will hardly even notice you are exercising.
 
Have fun cooking: Like many activities, cooking is more fun with a friend. Start off with a complicated recipe and work together to create something tasty and sophisticated, or try to create a culinary masterpiece together.
 
Pamper yourself: Everyone loves a good pamper so whether it’s painting your toenails, or applying a face mask, it will make your day more interesting, fun and relaxing.
 
Have friends over more often: While busy lifestyle can sap you of your spontaneity, having friends over and setting aside some time just to play can offer a regular outlet for having fun. Worried that your house is too messy to have people over? There are simple and stress-relieving methods for cleaning, and you’ll likely find that less clutter leads to less stress anyway.
 
Go ahead, have a party: Is it right to say everyone loves parties? Maybe. But partying is fun. You can unwind, interact with friends, be merry and forget whatever worries you have. 
 
Maintain a sense of humour: You can turn your stress into fun wit an attitude shift if you focus on maintaining a sense of humour in your daily life. With a light-hearted attitude, events that would normally be annoying become amusing; big hassles become humorously absurd; major stressors become really great stories waiting to be told. Having a sense of humour is a big part of having fun – it’s a way to actively seek out fun and happiness instead of waiting for it to come to you.
 
Have a regular game night: Many people associate having fun with games, but how many people regularly indulge in a game night? Whether you rotate having the game night among a group of friends or stay home and play with your family, finding a regular outlet for games can be a great stress reliever and method of having fun.
 
Tell jokes: Forwarding emails that make you chuckle isn’t bad, as long as you are sure not to forward things that people may find annoying. If you cull jokes from the internet, others may share jokes, and you will suddenly have more fun in your life.
 
Soothe the senses: Light a scented candle that has a calming fragrance like lavender. Listen to your favorite, most relaxing music or, go somewhere and enjoy the scenery, whether you are outdoors or viewing an art exhibit. Drink some warm tea or taste some dark chocolate. Treat yourself by getting a massage or, if you want to be alone, take a bath. Just relax! You cannot have fun when you are tensed up or worried about things. Just let go of these feelings and focus on enjoying your day. Do not start thinking, ‘Oh, I have so much to do tomorrow!’
 
Beside all the stated benefits, living a stress-free life make you stay healthy for longer – enjoy your life when you have it, you will miss it when it’s gone!
