How to play your way to a more fulfilling life
/
You, like most women I talk to and work with, may be focused on all you want to accomplish, and sometimes struggle to slow down and make space for yourself.
Paradoxically, you may also feel sluggish or stuck from time to time.
Some women express it as being in a funk, or feeling drained.
They want to feel energized and upbeat, but that energy sometimes feels out of reach.
Play is a great way to ignite your spirit
When you feel low and cannot think of ways to shift into a positive, energized frame of mind, choosing to play works wonders!
And, playing sometimes sounds a bit odd to serious professionals.
I invite to you consider play with deeper insight.
Play is more beneficial than you may know
As adults, playing can sometimes feel complicated, and unimportant.
Consider that studies show that play releases endorphins (hormones in the brain and nervous system that make us feel happy). Play also helps our brains function better, reduces stress, and stimulates creativity. It even boosts physical health.
Try some (or many) of these fun ideas
Do you love collecting?
Whether you love to roam through antique markets, take walks on the beach in search of shells or driftwood, or search online for special items, set aside time, dive in, and enjoy!
Maybe games appeal to you.
Board games, competitive sports, or other types of games, excite lots of people. Rather than being a spectator, dive in! And playing these games with other people can add to the pleasure you’ll experience.
Maybe you like more solitary fun.
Choose a great jigsaw puzzle, word puzzles, or number puzzles and settle in to enjoy them.
Does exploring excite you?
You can get lost on purpose on a return trip from a meeting or errands and see what you discover. Or go to a place nearby that has intrigued you and explore in those surroundings.
You can create in so many ways!
Play with color and materials! Whether you enjoy drawing; using bright colored paints, pencils or markers; molding clay or throwing vessels on a potter’s wheel; sewing and other handwork; or building things, doing something creative and expressive is a great way to bring the spirit of play into your day!
There are endless possibilities for play. Maybe you have favorites I did not mention that you want to do more of, or are curious to try.
Consider recruiting kids, friends, extended family, or coworkers to join the fun. The shared energy, laughter and mutual support will bring even more delight to your spirit!
What do you want more of?
Play fuels your life with positive energy, opening the way for you to connect to what really matters most for you, so you can pursue those things — even in the midst of a busy life.
It’s a game-changer to live your life with clarity about what you desire.
And it’s a game-changer to live with a heart that is lit up.
This is how you create the life you want, day by day. It’s what I call living big!
My signature program, Live Big Live!, that was formed by my path to creating the life I desired, has helped great women like you to move past what has limited them so that they now live bigger, more confident and fulfilling lives.
