The Principle is that we should all enjoy! Enjoy yourself ! Krsna is the Supreme Enjoyer. One should of course enjoy the right things, otherwise the long-term result may be most negative. Cook and serve Him wonderful dishes, enjoy prasadam, clean the house, enjoy health. chant japa, enjoy God's company. Enjoy like anything, but only devotional services.
"The regulative principles and rules of yoga-the various sitting postures and breathing exercises performed in an attempt to withdraw one's senses from the sense objects-are methods meant for those who are too much engrossed in the bodily conception of life. The intelligent man who is situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not try to forcibly stop his senses from acting. Rather, he engages his senses in the service of Kṛṣṇa. No one can stop a child from playing by leaving him inactive. A child can be stopped from engaging in nonsense by being engaged in superior activities. The forceful restraint of sense activities by the eight principles of yoga is recommended for inferior men. Being engaged in the superior activities of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, superior men naturally retire from the inferior activities of material existence." CC Preface
