The Importance Of Having Fun In Our Lives!

In this part of the world, we are still in the throes of summer.

Typically, it is a time when we go on holiday, spend more time outdoors, and with the brighter evenings, it gives us a feeling of more possibility, more things to do – and maybe time to have fun!

It got me thinking, how easy do we find it to have fun? To just chill and take time out?

For some people, they think that having fun is frivolous, wasteful of your time (perish the thought!), and completely unnecessary.

I think the opposite.

Having fun and taking time out is an essential element of our self-care. That is how we are able to fill up our own batteries, refresh and renew so that we are able to continue to do what we do, and be of service.

When was the last time you jumped in a puddle, climbed a tree or danced as if no one was watching?

If you find that the thought of having fun or taking time out is feeling uncomfortable, ask yourself, what is it about having fun that is not sitting right with you? Is it that you feel guilty? You don’t deserve to take time out? You don’t have time for fun?

Using EFT To Help Us Have Fun

For example, often, we can feel guilty about taking time out for ourselves, and this could be a good place to start to tap:

‘Even though I feel guilty taking time out…..’ and what would be more interesting is to see where this thought comes from? When was the first time you heard or felt this?

The real key to effective EFT is getting to the root of where these thoughts come from, so that you can really resolve this.

You can try it out yourself or if you are feeling stuck, reach out to one of our practitioners who can help you.

And if nothing else, look at the many small ways that you can start to introduce more fun into your life - and see how much better you feel.
