Remember the last time you simply played for the joy of it? No agenda, no goal, just pure fun? That's the magic of play, and it's not just for kids. The power of play can be transformative for adults too.
Whitney and her guest, Jonna Watson, a school psychologist, writer/illustrator, and podcaster discuss why play is crucial for adults, particularly those juggling multiple responsibilities. They unpack how the daily grind often sidelines playfulness, leaving us stressed and exhausted.
But here's the twist: embracing play can supercharge our lives, enhancing relationships and reducing burnout. They dish out tips for infusing play into everyday routines, even offering a glimpse into the power of playful parenting. Tune in and rediscover the art of play.
Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode:
- Why should we play just for the sake of playing
- How we lose the creative child we were
- Jonna shares how to integrate this into our daily lives without it just being something else on the list
- The only rule needed to honor your five minutes to play
- Using your 5 senses to connect to the present moment
- Jonna shares the creativity that comes with using our non-dominant hand
- Being seen in the messy and imperfect
- Jonna shares suggestions for how we can help continue to nurture curiosity and learning in our children.
- One question women could be asking themselves more: Who were you before the world told you who you were? What was that child like? Stay connected to that small child inside you.
