09. Play Practice

Sometimes we take life too seriously and we forget the restorative and healing qualities of playing!

Play is important for development not just in children but adults too. It stimulates your brain and nervous system as well as strengthens your immune system, heart and soul.

Play can include mind and body types of activities such as puzzles, movement practices (Yoga), meditation, sports, being out in nature and watching animals or children play. Even creating is a form of play. Simply sitting in nature and tossing a stone into water or picking flowers can be playful.

What is (or was) your favorite way to play? Does any activity in your life right now reflect any type of play that you once enjoyed?

Enjoy some type of play (no matter how big or small) or make set plans for the next action step towards you having a play experience within the next 3 days and then as often as desired. 

• How does this play experience make you feel? It may be a one time event or something you choose that is ongoing.
• Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal frequency and duration to perform.
