Fun Focus

Figuring out how to fulfill the fun factor is daunting, mostly because I am not sure what fun means to/for me. I always thought that fun was partying, and going out with others. As I am not doing much of that lately, I thought that I must not be having much fun. However, I am realizing that what is fun for me now is different from what was fun for me before.

Fun has been included in the factors on which to focus because I associate laughter with fun, and I do know the importance of laughter in a healthy and complete life. Also, I tend to be much too serious, uptight, and demanding of myself and others. I need to lighten up, and will do so if I focus on making and taking time to have fun.

Parts of Webster’s definition of fun are: providing entertainment, amusement, or enjoyment; to indulge in banter or play; a mood for finding or making enjoyment; and action or speech that provides amusement or enjoyment.

I so enjoy learning, so it will be included in my fun factor. I derive huge pleasure from spending time with my son, and I am thoroughly amused by his antics, so this time too will be included in my fun. Actually, I must say that I enjoy running. Wow, it too then can fall within the fun factor! Yes, another benefit of running!

For the next little while, perhaps thorough the end of this month, I will keep better track of times that I enjoy as a basis for moving forward with the fun factor.
