Have Fun
I think people often take life too seriously. No matter who you are, I feel pretty safe saying that there are probably times when you take things too seriously. I know for myself this is one of my biggest struggles; I make things hold way more weight than they probably need to.
But why do we do that? And what should we do about it? I think the reason people overthink things many times is because they care. And I think that is a totally valid reason. There are some things that people care about so much that they can’t help but overthink it and take it a little too seriously.
I think this is a fine line to balance. At what point do you take all the fun out of something because you are acting too serious about it? I find myself doing this all the time - my brain gets in the way of me having fun. I get so worked up about things that probably won’t matter a few weeks later, or maybe even a few days later.
It is human nature to want everything to be perfect, but I think some of the best parts of life are the parts where you just let go for a moment. You decide to live in the moment and just go with the flow.
I understand that there are things in life that do require us to be very serious. But if we are honest with ourselves we often let that seriousness take over our lives. So that is my challenge to you this week: have more fun. That might sound a little childish but I’m serious. Do something spontaneous, let go a little bit, and just have fun not having to care so much for a moment. Hopefully we can all learn a few things to lighten up on ourselves in other parts of life too.
Stay Motivated,
