How would I introduce more play in my life?

Introduce More Play in Your Life

The dictionary shows many definitions for the word play. Indeed there are many ways to play. I'm always looking for a way to introduce more play in my life.

Improving Our Hunter and Gathering Skills

I believe our evolutionary history suggests we spent a long time improving our hunter and gathering skills. Our brains got better and better at controlling our bodies to do a variety of movements with our hands and feet. Our brains evolved to help us move better.

Emulating Childhood Movements

My use of the word play is the variety of physical stuff we did on the playground in our youth. Including: jump rope, jacks, marbles, hopscotch, merry-go-round, swings, teeter totters, monkey bars, basketball, ring toss, and on and on. I want to emulate some of these movements to train our motor skills as adults. This provides many advantages, including better balance, stability, coordination, memory, creativity, mood – overall improved health. My games are a fun way to approximate the kind of movements we used as children.

Challenge Both Sides of Your Brain

My games give the right hand and left hand and right foot and left foot unique challenges for the brain and body. This contributes to neurogenesis in a major way, and I get younger every year because of it! You can find fun new ways to move your hands and feet and be playful in your quest – just remember: "The playground doesn't care how old you are."
