I love being playful, having fun, exploration, stillness, being a child, it lights me up. Boosts my energy, increases my happy chemicals and distracts from doing grown-up stuff.
Unlike children, when we become adults, we think regular playtime is less important and can almost be seen as silly. What if I tell you that Play is sooo needed whatever age you are. That means we need to be intentional about play and find ways to incorporate more play into our lives.
