Welcome to FUN 2019! Sometimes you’re in a rut and you just need to infuse your life with a little lightness and enjoyment to shake things loose. This thread is not for longterm life goals or big plans, but for little stuff you can do right now or in the next week or so to make your life a little nicer or more enjoyable! Some ideas could be painting a wall in your house, rearranging your furniture, taking a class or teaching yourself something new, cleaning out all your closets, throwing a party, things like that!
Let’s share inspiration/random ideas we have as well as stuff we’re actually doing…like Pinterest on a forum
Oh HELLO I am here for this! I made my garden prettier today by chopping up a geranium to make lots of babies, instead of waiting until I found the perfect plant to fill the spot. Stuff like that?
I’ll start with some of my ongoing fun:
-I have fun taking silly pictures of my dog and posting them on instagram. I very purposely refuse to monitize or optimize her account, because I don’t want it to turn into a job or project. Just fun.
-I’m not sure this is “fun”? But it’s relaxing and mellow and fun would be the best word I could find. I enjoy going on podcast walks. I’ll pick a podcast, and a neighborhood I want to explore, and go walk around it and look at houses and watch birds and stuff as I walk around listening to my podcast. Recently I’ve been a big fan of the “Ologies” podcast.
I am 1000000% here for this. FUN is something that’s so easy to sorta let slide! Especially when we focus on optimization as we often do.
Thank you for starting the thread!
Figuring out what is fun is HARD. I’ve found becoming a kid again helps a lot. Go to a fair. Go on a ride or two. Bike down hills really fast. Go on a swing set.
TOUCHING THINGS. Like plants and leaves and bark. For sure.
It sounds stupid as shit but it makes me feel alive and like I’m actually part of the world.
This thread is FUN! I love this. Some of my planned fun this week includes:
Taking apart & swapping the grease on my new to me stand mixer (I get insane satisfaction from things like this…when it works. So keep your fingers crossed) then I’m gonna use it to mix up some good smelling sugar scrub and if I’m feeling adventurous I’m going to attempt another batch of macarons
Dog training. Pup is so smart, almost too smart. He has started doing things like going after an item on the ground that he knows he shouldn’t but then stopping short and looking at us like “treat please? I didn’t touch it, see?” So clearly we can continue to challenge him more and watching him learn is much fun.
On Friday I’m going to get my hair cut and I’m thinking about trying a new style. I’ve got a short asymmetrical bob in mind but I’m also going to keep searching Instagram for inspiration in case something strikes my fancy.
Knitting - I’m about to add the 4th color to my 5 color fade pattern and I’m jazzed about how the colors look together. Relaxing and fun!
It is fun.
