True fun is good for your health, it gets you up from the desk, out of your heads (oh not like that..!) and into the world. Having more fun lowers stress levels and over time will likely lower the risks for all the health problems that are triggered or exacerbated by stress, like heart attacks, stroke, type 2 diabetes and dementia.
The pursuit of fun helps us stay true to our authentic selves, with less time spent on mindless distraction and empty pursuits and more time devoted to people, experiences and activities that bring us a sense of meaning and joy.
Most self improvement projects require us to exercise willpower and self restraint in the hope of achieving a future goal. Prioritising true fun is… fun! See you in class tonight, oh and bring a book to practise this.
