Let's begin with the definition of fun...
"Enjoyment, Amusement, or Lighthearted Pleasure" or "Amusing, Entertaining or Enjoyable"
What we find "fun" may be different but very necessary for our emotional health. This is something I know I struggle with personally due to my driven and task oriented nature. Simply MAKING TIME to have fun or for recreation can be a difficult thing to do in our busy and purpose-driven culture. But again, is very necessary for our emotional health.
When we engage in recreational activities that we find fun it allows us to break away from the high demands of life in general and allows our spirit to breathe. Recreational activities are usually accompanied by laughter, friends and relaxation which is a huge part of "living life to the fullest". These things are exactly what we need more often than we think!
What are the 2 biggest obstacles to Recreation and Fun? Time and Money. There's so much we can commit or time to to keep us busy, productive and even unproductive. Brian Tracy teaches on how to use a block schedule and literally designate what you will do every 15 minutes of your day. This is a great first step in blocking out time on a calendar simply for fun. The second obstacle - money. Another trap we often fall into is spending our money on things that really do not matter instead of great experiences or fun things that will build memories to last a lifetime. The issue with money usually isn't "we don't make or have enough" but how we spend it.
