have fun, if you sweat some for example,
then good for you but don’t think to
yourself as you play, “I have to break a
sweat.” Play with a pet
Flirt Arrange nights out with colleagues
Ah the art of flirting! So crucial and
yet we don’t do it enough. If you have
a partner, flirt with your partner, it’ll
definitely boost your relationship. Play nights specifically; they’ll boost
your relationships.In all honesty, I’m
still struggling with this idea of being
more playful and scheduling play and
laughter in my life.
If you don’t have a partner then
goodness gracious me, you certainly
need to work on your flirting skills and
remember, “Google is your friend.”
Play with children
If you have some of your own then you
definitely need to play with them. If
you don’t, play with nephews, nieces,
neighbors kid’s, etc. You’d be surprised
how much fun you’ll have and how
much you’ll learn in the process.
Puppies, especially, make very willing
playmates.
Like most adults, I’m self-conscious;
the idea of being labelled as silly isn’t
very appealing. But I believe with time
it’ll get easier, I’ll be much lighter
hearted and willing to share even ‘dry’
jokes with people
So in a bid to increase play and
playfulness in my life, I’m considering
incorporating the following in my life
(much more than ever): Funny videos;
Chess (how does that knight move
again?); Hiking (my glutes though…);
Monopoly; Doodling (I did this so much
as a little girl, I don’t know how I stopped);
Dancing (initially by myself in my room);
Singing (in the shower); Origami (did I
hear Michael Scofield?); Sudoku; Ken
Ken; Plays; Movies; and Comedy nights.
I think those should keep me pretty busy
this year. I’m excited, very! This gets me
thinking actually, “What’s the best way to
market play to adults?” I suppose that’s an
article for another day. As for me, it’s my
time out. I’ve gone to play, bye!
