Everyone knows that fun decreases stress. And I’m making a calculated assumption that as your life has become more stressful, you have removed a lot of joyful activities!
Any activity can be viewed as fun. Yes, some are more of a stretch than others, but your definition and expression of fun comes from within you, not from the activity itself.
Even works needs to be fun. If at least 75% of your workday cannot be defined as fun, why are you doing it?
More importantly, what prevents you from making what you do fun?
Action – Identify one activity you do regularly at work. It could be filing, organizing, going to meetings or cold calling. While most folks might define these things as far less than fun, how could YOU make what you do 10% more fun today?
As the athlete Fran Tarketon said – if it’s not fun, you’re not doing it right.
