Upgrade To Fun

Have you noticed all the talk about building fun into your life?  You like to have fun, but you have so much to do that fun isn’t always an option.  Every time you schedule fun things to do, life gets in the way.  Before you know it, you are just existing in a world you were meant to live in. 

But how can you live a life of fun and happiness when all you do is the same old things day after day?  This isn’t “Groundhog Day.”  Every day is meant to be different.  That’s why it has a different name and a  different date.  You weren’t meant to repeat the same day over and over.

What are the benefits of adding fun into your life?  There are so many benefits to having fun in your life.  But here are a few:

1.      Fun reduces stress.  Some of us are so worried about everything all of the time that we don’t know what life would be like without stress.  When you have fun, the stress levels decrease your mood improves.

2.      Fun helps you sleep better.  When your stress is decreased, your cortisol levels decrease and your brain stops racing.  With your cortisol levels lower, you can fall asleep faster and sleep better. 

3.      Fun improves your memory.  With your cortisol levels lower and your improved sleep patterns, it’s easier to concentrate and helps your mind to stay focused.

You’re busy.  You don’t have time for fun because you have way too much to do!  Did you know that if you break up your day with a few fun activities, you will be more productive?  It’s true!  Try it.
