A lot of people think you need a large amount of cash to have fun, or worse still, so many see little or no need in having fun.

I previously wrote on 5 reasons you should have fun and revealed some health benefits that come with merely having fun.

There are simple ways and tips you should know about having fun.

1. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE HUGE AND SPECTACULAR

To some people, fun means spending huge cash of money, throwing a large party, visiting exotic places and anything that requires spending a large amount of money.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to have fun; you can simply have fun by watching a football game with your boys — the talks and laughter that go with this is usually exhilarating; same thing too with the ladies, watching your favourite TV program with your girls goes with a lot of chitchat that makes for a happy moment. The simple fun is usually the one that people cherish most.

2. YOU DON’T HAVE TO PLAN IT

The most exciting moments are usually the ones that come spontaneously. Spontaneity is the key to having fun; you don’t have to plan and over plan, you would ruin it.

3. DO YOUR FAVOURITE THINGS OR FIND A NEW PASSION

When you partake in your favourite thing, you are mostly happy. So one cool way to have fun is to simply do that which you love doing. You can also find a new hobby or passion if you want to have fun — you would be happy you did.

4. DO WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH

The best thing about having fun is being happy, and laughter is a huge sign of happiness. Do what makes you laugh and you are already having fun.

5. CHANGE

Doing the same thing over and over again could only make it less fun as time goes on. Instead of doing that same thing almost every day, get out of your comfort zone, do something new, do something you wouldn’t ordinarily do and you would have fun.

6. REDUCE STRESS

Stress is a mood depressant and is a major reason people can’t have fun. You can hardly have fun if you are stressed out; cut off stress from your life and you would see how fun life is. Read 11 ways to manage stress, so you can manage stress effectively.

7. HANG OUT WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Some people would bore you, some people are negative and hanging out with such people would definitely kill your groove. Hang out with the right people and you would have better fun.

You don’t need to have a million dollar to have fun; remember the health benefits of having fun.
