Simply enjoy life and the great pleasures that
come with it.

go through life you will. Which would you prefer?

Will Make You Smarter by Leslie Karen Sann, MA, LCPC
"I just read a fact that has me reeling. Small
children, little people,laugh 400 times a day and adults only twelve
times? Whoa, what's that about? What happened to us big people?
I don't know about you, when I was a child, I was
told to be a big girl and help your mother. Now I was 3 and a half mind
you. Not very big or very capable, but there it was, the command to grow
up and be useful. Now.
I'm sure you didn't get it exactly the way I got the
message, and perhaps you too were told to quit having fun and Do Something
Useful.
Doing Something Useful, too much and too often, can
lead to stress, Also, when we keep channeling our energy into work without
play, we stifle access to our creativity and thus lose our creative edge
as innovative thinkers and problem solvers.
Do you remember watching a child play, or a pet?
They are free. They don't feel bad when things don't turn out the way they
expected. They just keep on playing and finding new ways of doing what
they were doing. My dog, Kelsi, never feels bad when I toss her the ball
and she drops it. She just wants me to do it again, and again, and again.
And my 5 month old grandson Owen doesn't seem to mind he can't quite find
his mouth just yet. He is enjoying, enjoying, enjoying, his food, even if
he ends up wearing more than gets in his mouth. He is having fun eating.
Imagine if you could recover your ability to play
and have fun. I wonder how you would change the experience of your life?
And what new ideas might you imagine, or possibilities might you envision?
How about unblocking the flow of playfulness in your
life and begin to enjoy the free exploration of possibilities you once
knew. What if you let yourself realize that Being More Playful is actually
Doing Something Useful?! Learning to relax and have fun actually recharges
us so we can be more energized and 'useful.'
So what about you? Are you interested in playing?
Let's go have some FUN!
JUST FOR FUN EXERCISE
