Listen "How Do You Play?"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textToday we are talking about play and playfulness, and the role of fun in our lives. The nature of our work, the high level of responsibility we carry, and the time we spend working can all contribute to NOT prioritizing fun. We may rationalize that we don't have time for fun, we have to work. And yet, Dr Stuart Brown, Psychiatrist and the founder of the National Institute of Play, says "The opposite of fun is not work. The opposite of fun is depression."So how do you put more fun into your life? Listen and find out. Oh, and also, see how play and rest are inextricably linked according to another Dr Brown, Brené Brown, PhD LMSW, my favorite Researcher-Storyteller as she outlines in her book, The Gifts of Imperfection."For more, check out:The National Institute for PlayThe Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown, PhD LMSWSupport the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.
