OH! Magazine - Australian Version May 2016 | Page 2

THIS MAGAZINE IS PRODUCED BY: GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE UNCOMFORTABLE As adults, we often forget to play, have fun and step out of the comfort zone. One awesome way to reclaim a sense of balance in a fast-paced life is to add some fun back into your world. Recently, I’ve returned to an old favourite pasttime of mountain bike riding. Getting out on the bike and into the forest a couple of times each week, allows me to have fun, socialise, get fitter, and master new skills (which leads to a cool sense of accomplishment). The benefits of stepping outside your routine, embracing lost hobbies and doing things that make you smile and laugh, are all so valuable and so important for a well-rounded, rewarding life. We all get 24 hours in each day. We all have work or family or other commitments and demands on our time, but you get to dictate how to allocate the hours you have. Choose to spend them having fun and feeling happy – what’s stopping you? ANALEE MATTHEWS Publisher & Editor [email protected] 2 MAY 2016 ( OH! MAGAZINE ) PUBLISHER All Smiles Creative / OH!
