If we are working towards developing a new skill, like learning to play the guitar, or a new language, it helps to turn it into a playful game.

Develop and Harness New Skills

Playfulness is the lesser-known and under-appreciated antidote to unhappiness, boredom, and stuckness of life.

Playfulness

Playfulness is associated with being childish or superficial, which is a myth. A playful person tends to be vulnerable and intimate, resulting in better relationships. If we are not depressed, addicted to substances, or sad, we tend to have lesser relationship issues.

Better Relations

As we become less rigid and constrained, our playful nature builds new, unexplored connections and makes us see possibilities we missed before.

Playfulness And Freedom

We become smarter and more creative as we get more playful, as we start to think flexibly and outside the box.Games and certain exercises that jog our brain in creative ways gives us a much needed mental break.

Playfulness And Creative Thinking

As we get educated and become adults, we get tied up in our accomplishments and careers, following the generally accepted ways of living and behaving in society. We become stuck in a self-made routine and rigidity, taking life too seriously.Ultimately, in this routine of work, responsibility and life's affairs, misery sets in, giving rise to boredom, depression, and stale relationships.

Growing Up

Playfulness works as good as deep breathing or mindfulness meditation to remove any stress you may have.We need to stop exhausting our brain analyzing, judging, comparing, and solving complex problems in our lives and just play for some time.

Playfulness And Stress

As we play games, learn new skills and meet new people, refining our work and focusing our energy positively, we start to nurture and build our identity, resulting in diversification and new ways of earning money.

Playfulness In Your Identity

Playfulness outcompetes worry and anxiety.Most people find it hard to worry less, so the way out is to find something playful to do, a distraction or a hobby, or get into mindfulness meditation.

Trumping Anxiety

We all know how important play is for children, but the benefits of playfulness are arguably even bigger for adults. See, a common theme across most forms of adult unhappiness is rigidity. For all our fancy educational attainments, steady careers, and big vocabularies, we adults tend to get stuck in our ways, often to our own long-term detriment.
