Even if your style is not perfect, even if it has a lot of flaws, mistakes and ugliness... if you are having fun doing it then it is right, there is no need to change it, no need to listen to other people. Because at the end of the day, even if you are doing right... if you can't have fun with it then it is still a mistake.
Have fun in anything that you do and life will become very easy for you. If you're having too much fun then you will become more creative and loose. You will feel that it is very easy to move, you will feel that you have the authority to express yourself. Everything will become smooth and easy.
So if you are currently doing your passion and yet you're not on a higher level yet, let's say you're just a beginner... don't worry if they are laughing at your work, don't worry if they are always criticizing you. Remember that having fun is the number one priority and not what other people say. If you love what you're doing then you will become really good at it one day, granted that you take it seriously and you never stop.
Always look for the fun in anything that you do, even if you're just washing the dishes... you can still have fun with it, you can become creative with it, you can add twist on it. For example, you will put a timer on your dish washing activity, let's say you make a goal of washing 50 plates in just an hour or 20 glasses in just 5 minutes, set a timer in your cellphone and let the game begin.
They can say that your way of doing something is right, they can say that you're technically wrong but if you're so much having fun with your own style then why change it? their opinions doesn't matter, your feelings is what matters the most. You need to take care of your feelings, be aware if you're having fun or not, if not then it is time for you to do something about it, it's time for you to look for something that will make the activity fun to do. You can change something, you can add something, you can add story in what you're doing.
If you're just starting to learn something and you're having a hard time... add a story in it. Imagine that you're training to become the greatest in it. Manipulate your mind to become motivated and excited.
You can have fun even when you're just drinking water. Drink the water slowly, taste the taste of it, enjoy the water running in your throat. Enjoy the coldness of it, never rush, feel the water entering your body.
You can have a lot of fun if you're always on the moment and aware of what is going on around you and with your life. Life is fun, just enjoy every process even if it is just a small thing.
The truth is you are the only one who is making your own life difficult, it is your thought process that produces pain and suffering. If you will only think that life is very easy then your life will going to be easy. If you will just do the right things that will put you on a better position to win then you don't need to worry about anything else anymore.
HOW TO HAVE FUN ON A BORING ACTIVITY?
1. Take it slowly. Don't rush it, rushing it will only make you go crazy. Move slowly but consistently, try to enjoy your senses. Enjoy your movement, enjoy everything you see that is related to your task. Even if the current step is hard... you can still enjoy it by slowly moving forward and doing what you can do. It is all about finding the small step that you can execute and doing it. Any process can be really fun if you will have a positive attitude towards it.
2. Think about the reward after getting it. There is always a reward after finishing a particular activity. You just need to look for it, it can be money or a simple development in your personality. You get better when you finish a task, you just need to appreciate it and really feel it. Every time you force yourself to do an urgent task that you don't like... your mental toughness becomes better, you become a better person, you become more responsible and trustworthy.
3. Make it fun. Put a playful side on it. If you're at the office and you're really bored doing your work... make it fast, be faster than anyone. Do more than anybody else, it's not that your competing with them, you just want to play and see how more can you do. Look at them, they were all bored because they are not pushing themselves, they all hate their job because they can't play with it. Anything will become easier if you will treat it as a game.
4. Reward yourself after doing a boring task. Make sure that you will not get the reward if you haven't finish the task yet. Reward yourself with a delicious snack or a simple playing time with your video game after finishing the task. The reward system will make you more productive because you know that there is a pleasure waiting for you.
5. Strive to become the number one. If you're just a janitor and you are getting bored with your job... strive to become the number one. Have the most number of toilets you clean in one month, have the most number of floors you clean in one month. Be the hardest worker, be the number one. Of course it is tiring, of course you will burn out but the good thing is you are having more fun. And one more thing, don't expect for promotion, just let it come naturally. If your boss can't see it, the universe will see it, you will be rewarded in the right time. Just work hard and rewards will come to you, just have faith.
WHY PEOPLE GET BORED?
1. They are doing the things that they don't love. They were forced to do the things that they really don't like from the very beginning. They do it just for the sake of money, they thought that money alone can make them happy and satisfied only to find out in the end that not doing what they love is making them sick, doing something that they don't want is making them stressed, weak and unmotivated.
2. They don't want to look for the enjoyable moment on a specific task. Every task can bring joy to you, it is up to you to look for it. It is up to you to add spice in what you're doing. You can become creative, you can imagine things, you can make tweaks but you're not doing it because you're bored and you think that there is no more hope, you think that there is nothing you can do with your situation.
3. They're too lazy. If you feel so lazy, if you want to finish your work fast then you will really get bored. Lazy people are rushing, they want to go home early, they want to get their salary early. They want to fast forward the time that's why they can't enjoy the moment. If you want to enjoy your work then simply try to enjoy every second of your life, enjoy every movement that is happening. Never look for the finish line because that will bring stress to the process.
4. They don't have a reason for doing their work. If you have a reason for doing your work then you will be able to love it and value it. Some people will just work to get money and then repeat the cycle over and over again, they don't have any direction. Some people love their work because they use it for some other reasons, they have a goal with it. Some people work because they are sending their children to school, some people work because they will use the money they earn to build a business on their own, that makes them enjoy their work even more because they know that their work will serve as an instrument for better things.
5. They are thinking about anything else while working. Their mind is flying, they are not focused. They are doing something but their mind is not there, that is why they are making a lot of mistakes and they get frustrated because they have to repeat their work. If you are doing something, be totally engaged with it, stay focus and never let your mind wander to different places.
If you are not having fun with your work then don't do it, if you have no choice but to do it then look for some ways how to make your work enjoyable. Having fun should be the number one priority because it will make your life easier. Forget about anything else, just be concern with you emotions, always check if you're having fun or not.
If you are stressed with your work, pause a little bit and find a thought, find a way that will make you have fun a little more. The control is always yours, you can push the button of happiness and enjoyment anytime you want to. It's all in your hands, it's up to you how are you going to make your life harder or easier.
Because life is all about having fun, even if you're just working... you still need to have a lot of fun. You only have one life so why are you going to use your time for more stressful activities? why are you going to let stress take over if you have the power to make your life more enjoyable?
Do what makes you happy, engage with the thoughts that will make life easier for you. It's not a hard task, everybody can do it. What most people don't know is they can control their mind and emotions, they can study how they feel and manipulate it to feel much better. It's your obligation to become happier every second of your life, you are only wasting your life if you can't feel good right now. What is the purpose of your life of you will just feel bad every now and then? Life is so short, life is too fast, always try to have fun right now in anything that you do.
NEVER COMPLICATE FUN
You can always have fun anytime you want, you don't need to complicate it, you don't need to give a deeper meaning to it. All you have to do is accept it and don't get too much picky. Have fun in simple things, have fun in simple movements. You can set the rules in what is fun and what is not, you have the power to put fun into anything.
If you will not control your emotions then your emotions will control you. You will have a hard time doing things, it feels like you're dragging something. It feels like time is slow and everything you're doing is hard, you will make a lot of mistakes, everything is a mess.
Don't get too deep and just try to make it simple, appreciate that you're still living and commit yourself to hardwork. If you can go all out then that is fun already, forget about what they are trying to say, it's none of your business to listen to their comments. Just have a lot of fun and let success come to you naturally. If you can only have a simple purpose why you are doing something then you will never get bored, ask yourself why are you doing it. Is there a bigger benefits in the future for doing it? are you going to get better? if not then why still do it?
