Do Not Forget To Play
For All Of Us, Play Is Simply About Being Totally In The Moment, In The Pure Joy Of Process, With No Concerns About Outcome.
It is important for us to loosen up and have some fun. If we play, it sparks creativity and encourages risk taking. It stimulates curiosity. To create, we must continually adapt, invent, and respond. As we experience wonder and possibility play also causes us to adjust and find new ways of doing things. We can accept that life is about change, process, growth, and flexibility.
Lila is Sanskrit word that means 'divine play'. Lila is the play of creation, destruction, re-creation and love.
Of late the Big Corporate,Business Houses start realizing that play is important for creativity and personal well being, and sometimes that manifests in computer games that develop the whole brain. Brian Sutton Smith is a renowned play theorist, he says that the opposite of play is not work-it is depression. Just think how common depression is in our workaholic society. Think, too, how humor brings joyfulness, laughter, fulfillment, and deep satisfaction with life.
Unstructured play in nature is the best kind of play for children and adults. We can use our imaginations to make things up: we can innovate; we can create whatever we feel by trial and error. Improvisation is just another form of the play, and it is a wonderful way to make music, do stand-up comedy, and create art. when we play, we feel energized and happy and have a willingness to embrace the unknown.
Please do it and feel the difference
Go out and have some fun. For you, it might be trying a new recipe, making a messy painting, or revisiting an activity from childhood. You may enjoy sports, golf, or frisbee. Try playing charades with friends after dinner, or get out some musical instruments (like rattles, bells, guitar, ukulele), put on some music, and dance. Give yourselves permission to be free and wild and unrehearsed. Invite close friend to play with you, to share laughter, imagination, and joy.
When we venture into play, curiosity trumps self consciousness and our joyful engagement drowns out any critic.
