DO it

Hello everyone!

Today during lunch I overheard someone say to another person: “why do you talk so much?” The person’s reply was: “I enjoy it and you know we don’t even pay tax to do it!”

Two things caught my attention: I enjoy it and we don’t even pay tax to do it.

I enjoy it: I like to talk to people so I do. What a marvellous idea. I like to do something that is enjoyable, not harmful, not overly annoying and has the possibility to be fun, so I do it. I love listening to music: Is it practical to do it at work  – if yes, do it! I like the open air: Is it possible to do during your lunch break  – if yes, do it! I enjoy reading – when practical – do it!

For those who read it, our one blog told us that to turn something into play we have to enjoy it and want to (not have to) do it. It told us that when an activity has these elements it would make us feel better, energise us and we would be all the better for it. Then why, why, why do we not take all the stops and buts and what ifs out of what we want to do and just do it?

If you enjoy an activity and its not taxed (free) (and it does not harm or influence another person negatively) then why not do it – listen to music at work and sit in an open office  – use one earphone – no one hears your music and you can still hear if someone talks to you.

Like the open? Even walking around the car park during lunch will be better then being stuck behind your desk. The list goes on and on. The point here is to start doing those things that you enjoy, which you are always putting of.

Have a tremendous evening everyone!
