Strategy Series
Not only is play relaxing and enjoyable, it keeps us mentally and emotionally healthy. This week we discuss the importance of finding fun activities.
Play helps promote healthy brain development for children, but growing up doesn’t mean we need it any less. Doing activities for an internal reward, rather than an external one, relieves stress, fights depression, and even makes us better humans. Studies show that play makes us emotionally healthier and more empathetic.
Join us this week as we discuss why you should play, how you should play, and our own experiences with reconnecting with our inner child.
