You may feel lighthearted and joyful today. While you may have a number of obligations that you need to fulfill, you might also be in the mood to play. You may want to invite others to share in your playful mood by organizing a lunch hour or evening of board games or sporting activities. Feelings of mischievousness could inspire you to play a friendly, practical joke or find a way to turn your duties into games you can play. To make the most of these feelings, consider looking at your daily routine to see where you might be able to include some time to be playful. You might find that challenging a coworker or friend to a contest of skill makes the day pass more quickly. If you see an opportunity to flex your imagination today, don't hesitate to take it.

Play can represent a wonderful counterpoint to the stress you face in your day-to-day life. With lightheartedness comes a sense of freedom because when you play your mind is not constrained by any boundaries or limits. As you freely exercise your imagination, creativity, or physical prowess, any tension within you is diffused, and your focus transitions from outer world concerns to the joyful experience of the moment. Play is a break that soothes the body and the mind. When you play, you can be anything you choose to be, as you step away from your everyday roles. Letting your playful side loose today will help you enjoy yourself while you let go of stress.
