I Haven’t Had a Free Moment For So Long, I’ve Forgotten What I Do For Fun!
What have you done recently just for fun?
This really isn’t a rhetorical question – I promise!
Many professionals recently returned from their National Conventions. Big goals, audacious dreams, and L O N G to-do lists.
But, after a certain point the more you work, the less you accomplish. I promise! Your body and mind both need a chance to rejuvenate.
Plus, your family misses you! :)
When we can practice mindful self-care activities – we become more efficient and effective – in less time. This is the premise behind Stephen Covey’s Sharpen the Saw Principal and Living in Quadrant 2. When you take care of yourself – you can accomplish so much more. Make it a point to schedule time for fun!
So – will you commit to doing something fun today?
- See a movie at the drive-in
- Eat a lobster with your hands
- Ride a rollercoaster
- Build a sandcastle
- Stargaze
- Go to a concert
- Toss a Frisbee
- Pick wildflowers
- Laugh, loud and long
- Splash in a puddle
- Take a bubble bath
- Watch the sunset
- Watch the sunrise
- Explore a new recipe
- Have a pillow fight
- Play Charades
- Make fudge
- Sing, loud and long
What tops your list of fun? Please share below!
Hello Lisa,
My favorite thing on your list is ride a roller coaster! I think that’ll shake up those creative juices and rejuvenate the spirits :-)
Or, take a road trip through the Rockies in BC. That’s not on your list, but it’s my number one choice for reviving a dry spirit.
Thanks for this list, it made me smile just to read it!
Stay true to you,
Laurie
Hi Laurie –
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll bet the scenery is beautiful, breathtaking, and serene in the Rockies in BC. What a great way to rejuvenate!

I like to spend time in the park with my two year old. Nature is so refreshing.
Ahhh . . . I love the park! Good one Sojourner!
Lisa
I watch movies whenever I want to unwind and rejuvenate. Works all the time.
