Hard work and long days are all too common today. This blog is about getting re-acquainted with play. We are hoping you can add it as a habit in your daily life.
Remember play? Play helps us connect to our joy, increase our lightness of being, and even gain perspective about what is really important.
We dare you to schedule at least four hours of play per week. In case you need some ideas of what that play might look like, try these tested methods of recharging yourself:
• Go to a matinee. Take your staff with you.
• Put on your jogging shoes, and take a walk during the middle of the day. While walking, pay attention to nature.
• Attend your teenage son or daughter’s athletic event. If you don’t have a son or daughter, borrow one.
• Ride your bike to the nearest coffee shop, and watch people for an hour. Leave your reading materials behind.
• Put on your favorite album, and sing along. Dance.
• Pick up a page-turning novel. Read it aloud.
• Bake some chocolate chip cookies. Eat them with a friend. All of them.
• Go to the gym. Instead of beating your brains out on a spinning machine, attend a yoga class.
• Find a class that you are interested in. Attend it. Do the homework.
• Buy some fresh flowers, and arrange them in a beautiful vase.
• Drive to the nearest big city. Find a play or concert. Take your staff with you.
• Go to the nearest park, and play on the swings.
If you take this dare, let us know what you learned about your experience. We will send you a gift. No strings attached.
