Super Fun Sunday


Super Fun Sunday

When I was studying elementary education, it was emphasized that good lessons for young students involve this principle: Make it fun. I think this applies to all of us.

I certainly don’t like doing things that aren’t, on some level, fun. I don’t like going to the doctor, starting an unpleasant task, or confronting a difficult person. These things aren’t fun. But lots and lots of things are fun: learning something new, meeting a wonderful person, looking at an inspirational view, reading a great book or online article…the list is literally endless. Fun, fun, fun!

How can you apply this to the everyday, repetitive things we do (or worse, have to do)? By looking for the “fun” that is hidden everywhere. It’s like a treasure hunt. Find the fun, and/or find a way to make it fun. In a difficult ballet class, focus on what you can do well and have fun with that, even while working on the challenging bits. Once you get close to mastering the difficult things, celebrate and have fun with that. Also, remember to embrace how great it feels to dance – I think we too often forget about this.

Be a treasure hunter of fun. You’ll like it!
