PLAY

Play is any activity we do purely for fun, without any practical purpose. It’s good-for-you goofing off.

Inspiration for having more play in your life

  • Take a day off with nothing planned and see where it leads.

  • Read something just for pleasure.

  • Make a list of activities that are your idea of play ― puzzles, snorkelling, cooking, dancing, reading, skydiving, going to the movies … ― and then put time in your calendar for those things.

  • Book a regular date with friends who make you laugh.

  • Take a child to the park and play along.

  • Do something totally, wildly out of character. 

Self-reflection

When I think about being more playful, what springs to mind?

“Just go up to somebody on the street and say ‘You’re it!’ and then run away.”
— Ellen DeGeneres
