Plan to have fun
Long Sunday siesta, longer evening walk and lots of time with family. Mmmmmmmm what a beautiful weekend. Sometime the whole idea of a break is not about going on exotic vacations but simply unwinding in the coziness of your home, in the company of loved ones. What makes it even more beautiful is the fact that there is absolutely no plan to do anything worthwhile.
Plans work well when we are trying to achieve goals and milestones. When planning to have fun, I would rather chuck out all predefined plans, games, activities, agendas, maps, whatever creates boundaries within which we need to remain. Fun for me, do whatever comes to mind in that moment. Close your eyes, listen to your heart and just do it. Some things I have done – Dance in the middle of the road at midnight, play catch on the road with hubby, steal some rain drops, pretend I can fly, roll around in bed singing songs without any lyrics, make cartoons with chalks on pavements, drive without anywhere to go and blog when there is nothing to write. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
