{ discovery no.18 } don’t forget to have fun

“Regularly having fun is one of the five central factors in leading a satisfied life. Individuals who spend time just having fun are 20 percent more likely to feel happy on a daily basis and 36 percent more likely to feel comfortable with their age and stage in life.”



This layout is based (and the text above is from) on secret #18 from the eBook, 20 Simple Secrets of Happy Scrapbookers. It seems easy enough, have fun, but for some of us task driven women this can be a challenge. I know it is for me. So how do we have fun? If this question is hard to answer for yourself, then you, like me, need to figure it out and make time for it!

a few things I do for fun

• listen to favorite podcasts like the Moth and Wiretap
• visit with friends at the neighborhood pool
• visit my favorite funny blogs
• play games with the kids
• camp and enjoy nature
• complete decorating projects
• scrapbook, of course
• hang out with friends
• chat with friends
• reminisce with my family
• go to movies with my man
• go on shopping adventures with friends
• walk through beautiful gardens

Make a list of what you do for fun, then photograph some of those items and make a layout. Simple really, remember it is important to document yourself.
