CREATING SMALL REVOLUTIONS OF JOY ONE DAY AT A TIME
Your Inner Toddler Knows The Truth
Why You Should Include Playtime In Your Days
In the book, “The Power of Vulnerability” Brene Brown brings up the importance of play.
It’s a subset of one of her guideposts to ‘Wholehearted Living”. Number 10 is cultivating laughter, song, and dance.
Wholehearted people embrace their vulnerability and go to bed each night still knowing they are worthy of love and belonging.
In other words, they acknowledge that life isn’t always rainbows and unicorns, but they still feel joy and contentment every day!
A big piece of laughter, song, and dance is a sense of playfulness.
Play has 3 main characteristics:
1. Time spent without purpose
2. Doing something that you don’t want to end
3. Such great enjoyment doing something that you lose yourself in the experience and don’t care how you’re perceived.
As adults, many of us have lost touch with our playful inner child.
But research shows overwhelming evidence that brining play back into our lives has many benefits!
