How do you make fun?

I think we certainly need fun in our lives. I think my idea of fun would be enjoying myself like going for a walk, or cycle or jog, swim, enjoying activities with friends and family members and many more.. Fun can be healthy too, and I always try to inculcate that to my daily life, wherever I can get some free time.

I come here. Really, I do. I enjoy the conversations - like this one - and don't respond to ones that might cause me to get into a frustrating argument... I don't like to argue...

Play games. Watch comedy movies and try to mimic the actors. Face paint each other. Try to cheat while playing cards. Learn a couple of simple magic tricks and try to amaze each other. Try caricaturing each other. Try piggy back. Try to search for the non existent lice in each other's hair. Try wearing each others' cloths and act like that person. Try responding to discussions like these giving wild and spintaneous ideas that come into your head.

It is call "hobby" darling. Life is meaningless without a hobby. When your day work is done... - It give you something to do... - It give you something to enjoy - It give you something to think about And it relieve the loneliness if your friends or partenaire in life are not around. The majority of people live such a busy life... that they reckon they don't have time for a hobby... or that it is a waste of time. Time is money they say. They are very wrong. A hobby will keep you sane. Partying with friends is not a hobby. Getting drunk on Saturday night is not a hobby. A hobby is something which last for ever and is always there for you. It won't argue with you... and it won't betray you. It won't leave you for someone else either. Your hobby is your best friend. What hobby you choose is entirely up to you. Nobody can choose a hobby for you. If you cannot think of one... it is because you are not ready for one.

If I knew, I would certainly tell you.

I used to be able to whistle with my fingers, but after having a couple teeth removed to facilitate realignment via braces, I can't anymore.

Maybe i should take a page from this counselor book..I don't do alot of things for fun unless it is doing my crafts,watching television,grabbing a good book..or playing online games. Other wise no going out and having fun.. I hope others will give you some good ideas.. I am answering from email inbox so not sure what ideas you received yet..I would like to go out bowling or to a movie maybe once in a while mostly I'm a homebody though.

Oh boy! *sigh* And I was banking on you to pass on some tips which I thought that counselor had shared with you…fun time for me???!!!! Where is ‘me’ time for most ladies that we can convert them to fun times? Whatever time I get for myself, I spend on catching up on things I like doing…reading books and mags, surfing net (without interruption from father-son duo), shopping, TV, lazying around…but hey! Cant these be fun too? I mean if I am enjoying myself doing these things, aren’t they my fun things? What do you think…what does the counselor say on such things or does she have any specific definition of fun things?

What's wrong with not being able to whistle with your fingers? I can't do it, also, and I live quite happily myself (I'm lying, when I was young I tried a lot and it bothered me that I couldn't do it, and I found it quite rude of your counsellor to point it out...). It sounds like the suggestion is to find something that could make you laugh, feel happy and relax. That could be a hobby, or some group activities or reading books or watching films. I like reading comics, cooking and watching films, and all of the three things help me out in different ways. Cooking help me relax, reading is good when I am in a bad mood or sad. Films... almost in all cases, it depends on the genre... I guess you should try various different things in order to discover new ways of having fun. sometimes we have expectations about some activities but the reality is different.

Hello Paula. If i am alone i have several ways of enjoying myself and having fun - reading a book i like, playing on the computer, watching a movie or episode of one of my favorite series. I could also go to the hypermarket near me and look at the new stuff they have and maybe buy something good to eat and enjoy. When not alone, i would include love making as a way to have fun as well, also going to the cinema, museums, zoo, parks, theaters

Hi paula, I just read one response that said having a hobby is a fun thing to do [ which it is of course] but to me a hobby is a relaxing pastime, I do crosswords, read and do gardening as a hobby and unless I see someting funny I Am not having a very good laugh. I think what your counsellor means is that what you need is to have some fun and I mean real fun. Go dancing with your friends[ if you like dancing] or go for a walk and try to see things in a funny way, fly a kite! and laugh at your self for been silly, put music on and go to some website that have funny jokes and laugh with gusto, or just get a comedy DVD and watch it, or get to a karaokey site and sing along [ I do that with my daugther some times] Now Im 64 and she is 31 and we have a great time! is fun, is silly but who cares! the fact is we are having fun and that is what is all about I make sure to have a good laugh every day and that keeps me healthy and in good mood every day.

I have archery as a sport, which I use to wind down and relax. This is not the most fun thing in the world, but I do enjoy it and have some fun times. Another way that I like to have fun is to act like a kid and play games with my kids! I like to go skateboarding with my son and have scooter races with him and play basketball with him and my daughter. I love to act like a kid on our trampoline with our kids too! After I do some of these things though, my body usually reminds me that I am not a kid anymore...lol

Hi paula 27661, My definition fun is something that makes you laugh releasing the "happy" hormones. This could be from going to see a comedy show with a friend or jogging on a trail until you are exhausted. If you can find anything outside of work and sitting home eating that makes you laugh and want to continue that happy feeling, do it again and again. Writing here makes me laugh, definitely reading some of these posts make me laugh out loud, even when I am alone in the house. Having fun is a good medicine.

Your counselor what? decided for you? Uhm.. i am also a counselor and decicding for someone is a no no in guidance and counseling it's one of the rules and proper method in couseling. Anyway we are only humans and we commit mistakes.Okay uhm.. fun everyday? What do you think are the things that makes you happy? Then if you know the answers? Do you think it would be best if you those things often? Making food and Making love is also happiness in fact making love is a hell of a happiness. Being with someone you love and doing things that you both like and enjoy is happiness. Satisfying your self for something that you really want to do is happiness, playing with your love ones is happiness and most of all having the opportunity of living in this planet is happiness. So now, what do you think? Hope my response helps. Good day!

Taking time for Fun? This is an interesting thought for sure. I do know we often get so busy with our lives, that we forget about doing something Fun for sure. I know for me, not everyday but a lot of the time, I will take time to log off from here and go to http://king.com and play some of the games there, or I will go Bowl on our WII or something like that, so to me that is getting out of the norm of everyday life and doing something Fun without having to spend any extra $$ doing so as well. I hope you are succeeding with yours as well.

I try the way i can..though the schedule is too busy and there's no time to entertain ourselves..i try to play with my children..i try to play bouncing ball with them...we did it last night and i set a record of 200 ..not out...my son had the record of 150..my daughter though elder than my son..gets out very soon..we both..my son and I...were teaching her..how to keep it bouncing for long time...my son said..keep your eyes on the ball where its moving and tap it at proper time..it was such a fun the younger 7 years teaching her all that...just find fun in small things and you will get it....keep smiling...

Humour in life is most necessary for a healthy life .Laughter is the best medicine.Therefore we must make it a point to laught to our hearts content .It boosts our energy.The best way is to watch comedy movies and serials ,make lots of friends and laugh with them .When we are in the midst of friends we will be able to laugh and enjoy with them .So the best way to have fun is to become friendly and enjoy their company.Thus laugh laugh everyday.

Its not lady like for a girl to whistle. For for us is watching TV or chatting. For me it can be the computer also.

If whistling with one's fingers was a requirement in life many people would fail and most likely never have any fun. Fun is anything you do to enjoy yourself that gives you pleasure and does not harm another person. It can be something simple like listening to music or looking at flowers.

Life is sweet gift of life to have more fun and joy, rather to be worried. Cheer up!
