Everyone wants to have fun in their lives, but sometimes, it’s not clear how to have fun. Having fun is different for every person, so never fret if someone else seems to be having more fun than you. You never know what their life is like and you can always find something fun to do. But, it’s important, like anything in life, to have the right reasons to have fun. If you’re struggling to have fun at parties or in a relationship, it’s worth taking a good, long look at oneself to see what you're really looking to get out of these things and why. Sometimes, with the help of something like meditation, you’ll realize something that changes how you think about yourself in these situations, and you’ll have more fun. From there, it’s just a matter of being yourself. You can always create more opportunities for fun by picking up a hobby, like drawing or playing an instrument. Playing sports is also a great option, as you’ll not only have fun playing the sport, but you’ll also get to know your teammates and opponents, which can turn into fun friendships.

If you’re trying to have fun on a budget, there are a lot of options too. There are always lots of free activities going on if you live in a big city; it’s just a matter of finding them. Museums often have free or discounted days, and going to a park is always a nice way to have fun outdoors. You could go camping or hiking at a national park, or just ride a bike around your favorite local spot. Getting outside and getting exercise is a great way to have fun without spending a lot of money. And if you’re stuck inside in the winter, say, and need to pass the time with family, board games are an inexpensive classic. Though it may be too cold to go outside, you can still have fun with a good book or movie. No matter what your situation, it’s always possible to have a great time.
