Truth: Life is meant to be enjoyed. Happiness is a beautiful, creative state of mind. Happiness is strongly linked to PLAY! Just look at children playing, they're laughing, smiling and joyful. When you sit and watch a group playing any sport or game, they are completely living in the moment. And Living in the Moment is where you want to be living.
As adults, we have lost touch with play and that's sad. Our lack of spontaneous laughter, movement and engagement with others has led to increased levels of stress and depression.
Playing is holistic medicine and it calls for a daily prescription.
Yesterday, Charley (my wee dog) and I went to the park and I spontaneously decided to go for a swing. It was amazing! I smiled as soon as I started to go higher. The kids joined in and we laughed and challenged each other.
For the rest of the day, I felt energized and couldn't help but smile every time I thought about swinging in the fresh air.
