This month let's turn your focus towards bringing more fun back into your life. Having fun can mean many different things to different people, so let's look at some ways to bring more enjoyment back into your day. One of the ways to have more fun is to experience new adventures.

Life is about taking chances, trying new things, having fun, making mistakes, and learning from it. ---Unknown
There is a country song by Darius Rucker titled "For the first time". Part of the chorus goes like this: "When was the last time you did something for the first time? Yeah, let yourself go, follow that feeling. Maybe something new is what you're needing." Read through those lines one more time and think about the truth in what is being said. We learn so much when we are young and as we grow older, we sometimes shift into autopilot. Developing a habit of just doing the same things day in and day out.
Today's Coaching Challenge
When was the last time you did something for the first time? Do you remember how satisfying it was when you thought to yourself, "That wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be" or "That was more fun than I expected".
Was it so long ago that you don't even remember the last time? If that's your response I challenge you to do something new this week.
Action to take
Your new action can be really simple like going to a new restaurant in your neighborhood or trying a new food. As you think about trying something new, focus on it being fun or easy and enjoyable. You might surprise yourself and have a good time.
Always supporting you, Jan
