Why Do I Try To Have Fun
According to Psychology Today, people who have a fun-starved life have worse health outcomes than people who take time to enjoy their life. And frankly, I don’t want to be old and pruny and withered and not have had any fun along the way.
But it’s taken a priority shift for me. When I first started blogging, eons ago, I was uber frugal. At one point, our house was 90 degrees because I wouldn’t (and couldn’t, due to my income) run the heat. Now I spend hundreds of dollars on fun every month. And that pains me to say.
It’s not that I’m being super spendy, but my hobbies are expensive. If I want to take a horseback riding lesson, it’s $50-$65. If I want to take a sewing lesson, it’s $60. Add a few of those up, and whammy, you’re spending hundreds of dollars.
Originally, this wasn’t going to be a money blog post – but I find myself continually circling back to money as a theme of this blog, even post divorce. Because finances kind of run my life, I guess.
It’s okay to spend money on hobbies. According to that same Psychology Today article, “fun helps us be more productive and feel more fulfilled” and I find this to be true in my own life. My activities do give me pleasure. But they also create an intricate identity. I find value and purpose in the things I choose to do for myself, without being witholden to anyone. I sew because I want to sew, not because anyone made me into a seamstress. Same with horseback riding. I do that because I want to, and it fills me with gratitude.
What are some things that fill you with gratitude?
