Everything we learnt about life we learnt in kindergarten

We have an innate desire to continue to play which does not stop

even as we grow older. Participating in play creates a sense of

freedom to do enjoyable things that provide social engagement

fun, creativity and spontaneity. There are a number of ways to

reintroduce play back into your life. It’s not necessary to partake

in all forms of play but certainly a couple will lift your mood and

create a sense of belonging and personal safety.

Determine one play experience that you can introduce into

your life. Now lock it into your weekly calendar for the next four

weeks. Take note of how it makes you feel. It’s also an important

step to diarise your activity so that it becomes part of your

routine and therefore a normal part of your life.
