Sept 4 – Plan for Fun!

Today’s Action for Happiness daily action is: Schedule a fun or relaxing activity today and make sure you stick to it.

Balancing work with joy is key to staying motivated and energised 🎈

Today I decided to not wait any longer for someone else’s schedule to align with mine, and so I planned to go looking for graffiti bananas around Köln (they have a special secret meaning).

Would I like to have searched for them together …. absolutely, but life is too short to keep putting things off

🌟 As it turns out, by clearing my schedule to make time for going on a graffitibanana hunt, the universe had a surprise waiting for me ….. my covid-19 lockdown buddy from Australia, who I haven’t seen in 4 years, happens to be in Germany for an automotive trade fair in Frankfurt next week, and heard from mutual contacts that I am based in Cologne at the moment.

Well, this has been a completly pleasant surprise having them come and visit me & spending time together & goofing about like the old days. Looking forward to catching up some more over the next week or so 🌟

Strengths/Qualities related to this action include:

I had a great virtual catchup with a friend from Canada today – thank you for our chat, I’m looking forward to the fun activities we have planned to do ….. gnomes on the roam. They also helped put me in the mood for my covid buddy catch up 🥳

Struggling to prioritise fun amidst responsibilities?

Block out “fun time” in your schedule as non-negotiable.Choose quick, enjoyable activities that can be done in short bursts.
