Can you recall a particular day when you were a child that was the best day ever?
Was it a day filled with friends playing at the park in the morning, followed by a basketball game in the afternoon, and then going out to have footlong kababs and naans in the evening with your family?
Wouldn’t it be nice to recreate that kind of day every day?
Sometimes our days start to feel like a repetition of the previous day, and we feel like we are driving through a flat stretch of road for hours on end. No scenery, no music to listen to, and no exciting conversations.
That wouldn’t just be boring but cause a person to feel like life is equally flat!
Perhaps, we can break out of this repetitive rut by taking on a mental approach to having a fun day called “Fun With Intention Planning” or FUNTENTION PLANNING.
Introducing: FUNTENTION PLANNING
This is a new and revolutionary method of creating zest and zing in your life!
It requires prompting yourself to think about your day uniquely, generating endless possibilities and the greatest probability of lying in your bed every night thinking, "What a fun day I had!”
You will never have another dull day in your life again.
So here is the template that is required to successfully make Funtention Planning natural and effective:
First, divide your day into its natural parts: Morning, Afternoon and Evening.
Next, for each part of the day, identify and include an activity you will engage in or will be engaging in if it was planned for you. Hey, sometimes you got to visit the in-laws, right?
Finally, think of a way to make that thing you will be doing more fun! I love talking to my mother-in-law, honest!
For example, you might start the morning with an excellent breakfast that you would have anyway, but instead of just eating it in a rush, you add an extra fifteen minutes to sit down and savour your steak and eggs and fresh black coffee.
Eating breakfast can be fun!
In the afternoon, you might have a client meeting, but instead of just going through the motions, you ask them, "What's going well in your life?" Having a meaningful conversation with someone adds colour and dimension to your meeting.
Memorable meetings make things fun.
For the evening, instead of just coming home, rushing through dinner, and watching your show afterward, why not plan an after-dinner walk with your spouse, followed by listening to some relaxing music?
Enjoying some exercise and listening to good music can definitely be fun.
Life should be fun! You don't have to be locked in a replay of rinse-and-repeat days. You don't have to live a flat and boring life. Instead, make the mundane…marvelous.
Funtention Planning is all about dividing and conquering. Divide your day; look at what is possible to enjoy and conquer boredom by adding that “funness” with intention and have a more awesome life.
