Have you been feeling a little discouraged lately? If so, playing might just be the solution.
I was brought up with a Puritan work ethic—work is noble, play is folly. Maybe you were too.
The surprising reality is that a balanced combination of the two will lead you to more productivity, more peace, better health and a more positive state of mind.
When we play our mind relaxes and our creativity increases. This mental rest continues even after we return to our “work” leaving us able to think more clearly, make better decisions, work harder and be more productive.
So, if you are feeling a little discouraged or overwhelmed by “all you need to get done” maybe the best solution is to watch a baseball game. Or play in one. Or shoot some hoops, crochet a rug, tackle the next level on Doom III or even spend time with your family.
You might just find your life is more fun as you play your way to success.
