Sometimes the intensity of modern life can make one a bit too serious. Not by choice I don’t think by the direction of focus. By focussing on the tasks at hand, which for us ‘multi-tasking information grabbing pack-as-much-in-as-you-can urban smilers’ there are many, we simply leave no time for good old fashioned fun.

When was the last time you…

…went out for a walk with a friend and ended up on a ‘tram adventure’

…had some friends over to play a board game

…went to a festival and actually participated in the ‘line dancing’ or similar

…had a ‘music, wine & frivolity cook up’ with your bestie

…had a champagne day spa arvo with a girlfriend (or equivalent beverage/activity for you fellas)

…looked up the gig guide and selcted a live act to go and appreciate

Really good fun happens when you are with other people. It happens when you change your focus from task to social. Let your guard down, let your hair down, engage with others and remind yourself why you like/love them and be sure to tell them. Let your mind float freely and it will have a chance to see the lighter side of life, to laugh at silly things and to be enlivened by a sense of play which often lies dormant in adulthood.

Go have fun my friend! It is as necessary as the air you breath.

Smiler.
