Life Coaching Intentions eCourse

Day 2

To look for ways to have fun in every moment.

 

It’s oh, so easy, to get stuck in a routine where everything is drudgery, hard work, a pain in the neck, etc.   But, do things have to be like that?  No!  It is our perception and attitude towards things that predominantly determines if we are enjoying what we do or suffering through it. 

Today, how about purposefully finding ways to have fun in what you do?  Even the most mundane, “boring”, things can be made enjoyable, if simply we try.  You know, children do this naturally, and they have a lot of fun!  We could get a tip or two from them, couldn’t we? 

Here are some examples of how things could be made more fun… 

  • Listening to music during your task.

  • Bring humor to your task…Find what is funny and enjoy it.

  • Making a game out of it.  For example, when cleaning the house, set the timer for 10 minutes and see how much you can get done in that time.  Have fun with it!

  • Focus on the parts of the task that you are great at and work on those parts for now.

  • Forgetting about when it will be done, and fretting about how long it will take.  Just “be” in the moment, doing something…Not many things are all that bad when we just do them and don’t worry about it!

  • Ask yourself…Is this the most fun I could be having right now, or is there something that could be more fun?  Why not just do it!

  • Cooperate with someone.  Challenge each other to find the easiest and most fun ways to do things.

  • Pretending!  Now, that is something we don’t often do as adults, is it?!  Why not give it a try?   For example, when washing the dishes, why not pretend you are a maid in a fabulous Scottish castle of the early 1900’s, helping prepare for a wonderful feast.  Would that be fun?  I don’t know!  But giving a try to something like that is fun just in the experimentation. 

  • Singing or humming as you work.

What can you come up with?  Making the intention will help you get inspired. 

Today’s Intention: 

I intend to look for ways to have fun in every moment. 

The stranger this sounds to you, the more powerful and transformative it might be! 

So, again, today’s intention: 

I intend to look for ways to have fun in every moment. 

Have an amazing intentional day!
