Just Add Fun
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008I recently had a girlfriend visiting from Maui and we were comparing notes on how we maintain a balanced life. She mentioned that she has a three legged stool comprised of these three things- self care, work and fun. Fun? I couldn’t believe it! I never though of adding fun to my list. My list of three is- meditate, exercise and eat healthy foods. A good list to be sure, but there is a lot of discipline and not a lot of joy in there. With my friend visiting we had a lot of fun- eating sushi, beaching, dancing, kayaking and a day at the spa. That one weekend was more rejuvenating to me than weeks of sit ups and vegetables. I am still going to keep my three core strategies, but have added a fourth to the list- fun.
