Are You Having Enough Fun And Enjoying Your Life?

Are You Having Enough Fun And Enjoying Your Life?

In today’s busy and stressful times, some of us may be forgetting about a very important aspect of good health.

Having Fun.

It’s true. Eating healthy food, getting enough exercise and sleep is all very important.  But so is having a good time and enjoying life.

Tips for finding time to have fun…

1. Schedule a certain amount of time each day for doing something fun.

2. Include activities you enjoy doing on your own, as well as others that you enjoy doing with friends or family.

3. Planning activities is important, but being spontaneous is also beneficial.

When was the last time you did something just for fun?

Games (like Sudoku) That Can Keep Your Brain Healthy

Did you know that you can keep your memory and mind healthy with online games?  You can actually have fun while keeping your mind sharp.

Experts suggest that not using our brain enough can be a major factor in losing our mental abilities as we get older.  But using games and puzzles can improve our memory and concentration.

Here are two of my favorites…

This is an animated version of The Memory Game from a site with many mind and memory games.

Then there is Sudoku – a highly addictive number placement game that also relies on memory.

To complete a Sudoku puzzle you have to look ahead and follow trails of consequences — if you put a 6 in this box, that one must be an 8 and this one a 4, etc. This “planning” helps improve short term memory and concentration.

Do you play memory games to help keep your mind sharp?  If not, would you consider trying?
