Where's the FUN in Function?
Part 1
by Brook Montagna

What Does YOUR Natal Chart Say About You?

Your Natal Birth Chart is literally a blueprint of your soul.

Its wisdom is an indispensable tool in living a conscious life.

To live in accordance with the person you are is your birthright, and it helps immensely to know exactly who that person is.

Where's the fun in your daily functions? With bills to pay, emails to answer, reports to write, projects to complete, phone calls to return, laundry to do, doctors to visit, forms to complete, children to care for, finances to manage, and relationships to squeeze in somewhere, it can feel completely overwhelming and not much fun at times.

Since all these important things need to be done, as they are the substance of your life (this not a dress rehearsal), doesn't it make sense to find ways to have more fun while doing each functional task?

When we think of fun, we usually think of weekend activities, or hitting the escape button and going on vacation. But here are some suggestions for making ordinary life more fun.

Plan for the Future, but Live for Now

Good planning is essential, and it can be a lot of fun to plan. But after the plans are made, it's time to implement them in the present moment. Worrying is not planning! Worrying about the outcome of our plans takes us away from enjoying activities in the present. A good plan is like an anchor in the storm of worry. If you get caught in worry, come back to your plans and take action Now, where you can also have more fun.

We are more likely to experience fun when we are fully present to the smells, tastes, sounds, sights, and feelings of an experience. That's not to say that there aren't moments when we experience unpleasant sensations. But isn't it the case that we often tend to focus on what we don't like more than on what we do like? For example, we can be very upset and obsessed over being in a traffic jam, and completely miss hearing our favorite song playing on the radio.

It's a matter of focus. To experience more joy in the moment, shift your focus and pay close attention to pleasant experiences. Take this a step further and begin to expect, seek, and create more pleasant moments.

Break the No-Fun Habit, Get Creative, and Look for Opportunities

Focusing on the unpleasant and worrying about the future are No-Fun habits. We can be so focused on what we don't like, on what could, should, or might happen, or on getting to the end of a task, "when we will be happy", that we miss the opportunity to have some fun along the way.

Break these No-Fun habits. Before doing any task, especially a task that is mundane, or one that you dread or fear, ask yourself, "How can I make this more fun?" Then, give yourself some time for your mind to come up with creative answers. Sometimes the answer is as simple as just slowing down to be more present so that you can enjoy each part of a task. (Or, decide to hire someone to do it for you, so you can focus on things you enjoy more.)
