The world famous Dalai Lama, his holy highness, has once said, “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” This straightforward but true statement has affected my life to the chore. It’s the undeniable truth that we all want to be happy in our lives, and thus we try to find happiness in all big and small events of our lives. Who wouldn’t want to build an enjoyable experience for oneself? And yes, there are many interesting things to do in order to build an enjoyable life.
To make life interesting or to add fun to your life, what are the fun things to do? And it’s not just for one day or one month or one year but whole your life. You want to make your experience enjoyable despite the difficulties and challenges that you face every day.
There are so many exciting things to do in life to make your life more enjoyable and enjoy life to the fullest. All you have to do is to commit to yourself those things that you will continue no matter what.
1. Pursue At least One Hobby
You’re never too old to develop a hobby. It can be painting, dancing, singing, playing a musical instrument, car racing, bike riding, etc. But make sure that you take time out for your hobby. Hobbies relieve our stress, and it always adds fun to your life. If you’re an adventurous person, then you can even go for mountain climbing, bungee jumping, paragliding, scuba diving, etc. It doesn’t matter how often you’re doing all these things.
2. Plan A Long Vacation
Life is too hectic and too busy for everyone. You live to make money and to get a better life. You want to raise your standards for which you’re working very hard. It makes your life very monotonous and boring. Thus take a break from your work and plan an extended vacation for at least a week or more than that. You’ll be able to spend time with your friends, family and loved ones. It will refresh you after coming back from the break and work with more enthusiasm and energy.
3. Go On A Date With Your Partner
This one is fascinating because when you think about going on a date, you get completely involved in it. From making arrangements to executing everything properly. You’re doing it for someone you love which will give you satisfaction and happiness. The happiness of spending some quality time with your partner lasts longer. That is your feel-good-factor in many ways. You should go on a date with your partner more often, be it your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife or anyone who is a special person in your life.
4. Make Some Lifetime Friendship
“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you’re young, you make friends quickly, but with rising age, the idea of making friends gets shallow with time. You get engaged with your family and career more than with your friends. So it is always good to keep in touch with your friend whom you want for the lifetime. So many things in life that you don’t want to tell anybody but your friends. You’ll never regret the time enjoying life and having fun with your friends.
5. Do Some Charity
When life gives you so much, then you must offer something back to life by doing charity. Your small gesture of charity might make a huge difference in someone’s life. Charity doesn’t always mean giving money; it can be helping someone voluntarily. You can be a volunteer for some NGO who has organized a funfair to help needy children, giving your old stuff to the needy which you don’t use anymore or something similar like that.
6. Have Pet or Pets
Having a pet or pets not only improves the quality of your life but also give you health benefits like decreasing your stress, lowering your blood pressure, improve your immunity and even reduces the risk of strokes. You can play with them, nurture them and in return, you’ll get unconditional love and affection. Pets are suitable for children too; they help them develop their emotional health. To have a pet or pets in your life is always fun, entertaining and exciting.
7. Learn Something New
One can not be a jack of all trades, but yes you can surely try. By learning something new, you will realize your potential of doing something that you thought was out of your comfort zone. For example, if you like cooking, you can learn a new dish from a cuisine other than yours. You can explore more in your interests for learning something new.
8. Give Yourself A Makeover
This one I do for myself. You look in the mirror every day and sometimes even get bored of how you get ready. The same old hairstyle or makeup or jewelry or clothes that you’re wearing since ages. It’s time to give yourself a makeover. Maybe you should change your hairstyle, color your hair, change your wardrobe, buy some trendy outfits, get some new shoes, etc. That’s all, and you’re all set to improve your mood. Seeing yourself different than usual will surely boost up your mood.
9. Share Your Lessons/Experiences Of Life
Do share your life lessons or your good/bad experiences with friends and family whenever you get time. You can tell them about how you spent your vacation last year, how the charity made a difference in your life, what happened when you tried something new, etc. You can share the recipe that you’ve tried and turned out to be a delicious one. Sharing your life experiences make conversations more interesting, and people love to participate in the discussion too.
10. Take Part In Some Outdoor Sports
Outdoor sports are not only good for physical health but also good for mental health. You take the example of an outdoor game, and you’ll know that they’ll make you involved both mentally and physically. Outdoor activities give us a positive mind, a healthier life, better body and social benefits. Taking part in an outdoor sport will save you from many diseases as well.
You don’t know what’s going to happen the next moment so, live every moment to the fullest.
