You may be in a carefree mood today and want to search for fun and invigorating activities. Letting go of your current worries and cares might be a sign that you are able to indulge your sense of play. Creating time to engage in some form of playful activity could increase your feelings of well-being and infuse your life with greater energy. You might think back to when you were a child and what types of activities fascinated you. Perhaps it was playing sports, creating stories, or doing something crafty. Chances are your favorite activity was something that brought joy to your life at the time. Remembering what you loved to do could give you ideas about how to integrate play into your life today.

The activities we loved to do as children are things that can still set our hearts free. When we were young, our lives were less complicated and carefree; we did what was in our hearts and not what we thought we should do. Being in our adult world we often forget what things truly feed our soul. Letting ourselves play, however, harkens back to simpler times when we felt unfettered and did what felt best for us. As we recollect what our bodies and minds needed back then,we begin to realize that we also need the same things in the present in order to fill our lives with joy. Evoking your sense of play today will allow you to bring the best of your childhood into your present life.
