On a daily basis we are bombarded with negative messages, messages of danger and scarcity, which mostly move ous out of alignment with our heart into fear, and away from love that we, in our essence, are. And if that was not enough, most of us have also along the way of our life picked up messages that we are not enough, that we are just average and that we need to 'deserve' our worthiness. None of this is true. In our essence we are love, we are all worthy, unique, precious beings who matter and whose needs are important. Still given the conditioning most of us have been given it is of paramount importance that we take time to nurture ourselves emotionally on a daily basis by reminding ourselves that:
I am enough
I am worthy.
I am unique
I matter.
My needs are precious.
I am love and I am loving.
It is so important that we take a few minutes to sit quietly nurturing our soul with self-loving and self-affirming messages and grounding ourselves in the energy of love.
In order to support myself and clients I coach in this process of grounding ourselves in love I have created a short five minute meditation https://youtu.be/wBBhVBv_Hyo

And not only are you never too old too play, but play actually helps to keep you young and energetic for longer.
Various studies have shown that play releases endorphins, improves brain functionality as well as memory, and it stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex. With all these benefits of play being stated the only thing you can do is allow more play to enter your everyday lives. Especially if you are a stereotypical hard working adult who takes life very seriously with 'no time to waste', then t is, actually, essential that you create time to play, just for fun.
The only 'side effects' that you might 'suffer' from as a consequence of an increased level of play in your life would be a reduction in your stress levels and ability to deal with stress better, increase in creativity, and you might even start to laugh much more (which has its own health benefits). Hence, go play today❣️
P.S. This is an especially important reminder on a Monday morning when majority of us tend to start a busy working week full of obligations, deadlines, schedules and to-do-lists.
P.S.2 By the way, play is not just another item on your to-do-list, rather, even when it is an activity it is at the same time a certain state of mind and being.
To learn more about the importance of play and different types of play practices you can consult the work of Stuart Brown MD, who has been studying play for decades, for his short discussion of play go to his TED Talk ''Play is more than fun''.
