Don’t Take Life Too Seriously

Make time to play: Children bring us back to the little wonders in life that we overlook as busy adults.   They teach us how to play again, to go barefoot in the grass.  As a result we use games and play to teach, create memories, and to bond with Baby.

  • Loosen up and relax.  Take yourself less seriously.  Make time to admire the beauty and wonders life offers.
  • Play with children and animals.  Be silly; have fun.
  • Find ways to ‘play’ with colleagues, family and friends in order to understand and enjoy each other on a different level.  Play helps us to bond.

Play is an important ingredient to building confidence and age-esteem.

Play And Be Silly

Bubbles!

Play: Why is it that when we become teenagers we decide that certain activities or games are too childish for us? Being silly and playful is wonderful at any age. Play is energizing and creates laughter. It helps us to bond with others of all generations.

  • Choose something silly or outrageous that you’ve wanted to do, and do it! Sing in the rain, skip in the park, fly paper airplanes, wear that silly hat that makes you feel happy. Start with something simple and build from there.
  • Invite friends for an evening of play: board games, volley ball, or acting out a play. Even those who drag their heels in the beginning will admit they had a good time.
