While the importance of play for children is well understood, many don’t realize it’s a necessary form of stress relief for adults. One also could argue it’s the most enjoyable part of a wellness plan—say compared to giving up donuts or eating more broccoli—but can take just as much thought and practice to implement.
The elements of successful play
Successful play is more a state of mind than a specific activity, and the health benefits go beyond stress relief. Regular play will make you feel better about yourself, stimulate brain activity, enable you to transform negative experiences, boost creativity and imagination, and help you connect with others.Bottom line: Regular play simply makes people happier, and happiness is a great antidote to stress.According to Brown, and Diane Ackerman, author of Deep Play,
Genuine play has the following qualities:
Play is purposeless, all-consuming, and fun It is not about improving a time or score, or winning at all costs
Play has its own place, separate from the rest of life (a basketball court, the roller rink, a favorite trail, or even your back yard)
Play has a prearranged time—it’s important to make time to play
Play is about exuberance, license, and abandon.
Play requires freedom—you do it because it is enjoyable, not because you’re supposed to
Play involves a “make believe” element
Play is enjoyed for its own sake.
