How to Be Energetic and Fun to be with

Do your own thing!

Steps

1. Listen. Fun people don't do all the talking when it comes to conversations. Good conversations are crucial when you want to be a likeable person, and sometimes you just have to shut up and listen. Realize too, that listening is a learnable skill that takes practice, and it's more difficult than many people believe.
2. Smile and laugh. Laugh because people like people who laugh with them (not at them). This makes people happy and brightens the way they think of you. It makes you seem like you truly love life and you can deal with any problems that you have to face.
3. Make eye contact. This is very important because it makes people feel like they have all of your attention, you are listening, interested in what they have to say and they are getting the attention that they deserve. It also makes you seem more trustworthy, honest, and open. If you are always shifting your eyes around and looking at everything but the person you're talking to, people will think that you don't care what they have to say or you have something to hide.
4. Be active. Are you having fun when you are sitting at a bench, looking down and not doing anything at all? In order to be fun to be with, you need to be active, to stand up, to be creative. Maybe do a "happy dance" when something good happens, take up a sport, or twirl around to cheer someone up. It works!
5. Be curious. Know what you'll be doing later. If you get turned down or rejected, move on. You never know what's going to happen until you try. Always try to seek out more knowledge or skill in an area that interests you. It will really improve your character.
6. Care about yourself. In order to be a fun person, you must be confident. Also, physically take care of yourself--practice personal hygiene, Eat Healthy for Life, and Get Fit.
7. Be sociable and friendly. In order to be fun to be with, you'll need to build some new relationships so people start noticing you. Be friendly to everyone--people who were mean to you, that guy that sits next to you in math class, your team captain--everyone. Treat your new friendships well. Praise them, cheer them up when they're down. Joke with them (not at them), help them, invite them to parties, etc.
8. Honor Yourself and realize you are a unique child with your own destiny to fulfill. No one except you knows what is the right path for you to follow, thus you must keep tuning into those silent-loud messages your heart sends you.
9. Respect Yourself. Respect yourself for your uniqueness and understand that everyone is on their own life journey.
10. Forget about what others think of you. The most valued opinion should be yours alone.
11. Accept both your dark shadows and the bright light that shines forth from your loving qualities, thus accept the totality of who you are.
12. Watch Your Self-judgment and Self-criticism.
13. Take Nothing Personally.
14. Remember That Everyone is Always Doing Their Best, thus you must practice forgiveness.
15. Forgive Yourself and forgive others when screw ups happen; this lightens your heart and adds tremendous energy to your life.
16. Think Creatively when challenges present themselves, which they'll do until the day you depart this earth plane.
17. Be Thankful for all the gifts you have and take care of your body, mind, and spirit, as no one else knows how to more than you do, even when they seem to.
18. Live in the present moment: the past is dead (like a canceled check) and the future is a promissory note, it may or may not arrive. Spend the cash NOW, for example. Buy what you love, spend it on gifts. You'll feel so much more joy when you can actually use the credit you've earned. Don't be too careful, but don't be too careless either! Just enjoy yourself. Play! You may die tomorrow.
19. Take Up Energy Work like QiGong, Yoga and EFT. It helps to bring energy and positiveness to your life.

Tips

• Save some time each day for your own needs.
• Don't be afraid to be yourself, whether or not it overlaps or doesn't overlap with other people's interests. Be interested.
• Always pursue knowledge. Knowing a lot will help you become wittier.
• Know your limits, and let other people know those limits too.
• Always be trustful and honest. Be genuine and don't gossip about othersDon't only pay attention to being fun. You need to keep a more serious side and let it show at appropriate times too. If your friend is asking you for support through hard times, you need to take that as your responsibility and show them that you're a friend worth keeping. Same thing goes with your parents--show them that you deserve more freedom by doing what they say and being responsible.

• Don't try to make people think you are fun. It comes off as phony and pushy.
• Don't laugh at people. Laugh with them. It's good to laugh at yourself, though. You have to in order to stay happy through your mistakes and failures.
• Be aware that the kind of fun you're having is healthy, legal, and doesn't cause anyone any harm, including yourself.

• Live as much as possible in the present, forgetting and forgiving your past and not fantasizing too much about the future. Setting goals and having dreams is real but follow up with visualization, right thinking, and actions.
• Nothing's impossible when you're determined!
• See yourself as a loving child in a friendly universe. Remember, you get to choose how you see the world, no one forces you to think a certain way.
• Life's too short to be miserable!
• Be careful of others, especially those closest to you, telling you how to live your life. You choose how to pursue your happiness and freedom, which energizes your whole being and makes you fun to be around.

• Watch how you talk to yourself. Daily you have between 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts. When your thoughts are upbeat, hopeful, contented, inspiring, grateful, and joyous, you exude energy and you are naturally and effortlessly a fun loving, energetic person people love to be close with.
