It is so important to introduce play into our day as often as possible.
Play lightens the heart.
It moves the mind into the lightness of imagination.
It allows a different kind of focus, one that is slightly diffused around the edges.
It lets us change direction moment by moment or hone in on a different kind of goal.
We experience play for its own sake.
It puts us into a different kind of mental and physical focus.
We live in the moment.
We act spontaneously.
With our greater resources, we can combine many different elements into our play.
As we relax, we see imaginative connections.
We can take the steps to bring imaginative play into our day.
We can collect materials to create different kinds of play.
Whatever the mode of play, we move out of our habitual way of thinking for a time.
We refresh ourselves by thinking and acting and feeling diferently for a while.
We use different mental muscles when we engage in play.
We allow ourselves to move freely through many different types of activities and relationships when we play.
We may come in contact with different people during our time of play.
We may take in different sights as we play.
All the variety we experience during our play gives us many more elements to use in our thinking.
We experience our life differently when we include the elements of play.
After play, we may find ourselves incorporating more imagination or finding solutions which were not so obvious.
We can enjoy play for its own sake and for the positive effects it has on us when we return to our work.
