In the Northland, we have a very short spring season. For most of the United States, spring has come however where I live in Northern Minnesota the trees were just beginning to bud a few weeks ago. This time of year is also the season of spring cleaning. I enjoy the effects of spring cleaning however I do not really enjoy the process of spring cleaning. It is a chore. However this year I tried something new. I tried to make it a little more fun. Have you ever noticed how if you turn something fun it makes it seem less like a chore? Take a note from the words of Mark Twain.
“Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.” — Mark Twain
If we view something as fun and not an obligation, maybe we will start to enjoy it. Try thinking, "I get to do____ instead of I have to do____". So with that idea, we can take items that we might not like doing and begin to prioritize them if we turn it into a game.
Let's Play BINGO! Complete as an individual or share with friends I made a well-being BINGO card since sometimes doing the things we know support our well-being feels a lot like our spring cleaning chores. Below are the directions.
1. Gather a group of friends (or complete it on your own) 2. Send this newsletter to everyone on your team so they have their own BINGO card. 3. Choose the length of time for your challenge (1 week, 2 weeks, etc.). 4. Decide on your game-winning BINGO rules (5 in a row, etc.). 5. Encourage your team to take small steps toward healthy activities! 6. Create your own raffle and prizes or play for fun! How to win BINGO Combinations: 1 Line-horizontal, vertical, or diagonal = 1 raffle ticket 2 Lines-horizontal, vertical, or diagonal in an X = 2 raffle tickets Box around outside edges =5 raffle tickets All squares =8 raffle tickets
