I can totally be too serious. I’m taking a walk with a girl friend today. When I was working I would walk with a friend on a break or do yoga. I am also mindful of adding more fun and play to my days now that I am working from home with my own business. When I feel like I need to move my body I go outside and do some gardening. I’m also planning a play day tomorrow, starting with yoga class and visiting a friend and then doing anything that feels like fun and play.

Laura,

I love this idea of incorporating fun into your life and into your workday where you can. I for one will do anything goofy to spice things up, help me let go and relax. Since I work from home I have complete freedom, but some of my favorite things include leaping – yes, literally leaping – around the house. It’s great exercise and it makes me laugh hysterically. I also like to go out back and swing on the swingset or grab my ipod and walk the dog. I have even been known to jump into the pool fully clothed – but only when it’s hot.

excellent post – as usual. last night, a work night, i should have stayed at work late but a friend invited me out. normally i would have declined the invite for an evening out during the week, the weekdays are for work. but i remembered what Laura told me – break the routine, do something fun, even for a little bit, even for one evening. so i accepted the invitation. i had a great time and i feel relaxed and ready to work another couple of days before the weekend. i would normally be ready to hit something come hump day – thank you, Laura, for reminding us to have fun, to do what our bodies what us to do.
