It may not feel exactly the same as an adult, as it may have done for you as a child. And also maybe our play preferences have shifted over the course of growing up. And while I used to like to play in this whimsical way, now that makes me feel a little too self-conscious and silly. I'm not there anymore. Actually, now I like to play in a more structured and ordered way.

So I've joined a team or I've joined an art class, or I'm in a group with like-minded others. And that's where I'm getting a similar level of pleasure. So our play patterns change as we change. And that is the job, isn't it? The job over the course of our life is to grow and develop. And that's not just the journey of childhood, that's the trajectory of life.

I mean, I think whatever we think it is, there's usually something else to that. Not that what we're telling ourselves is not true, but there might be a little subcontext to that as well, because modern life is frenetically paced and it's extremely busy and demanding.

But if we're really honest with ourselves, could we repurpose some of the time that we are maybe devoting to social media or scrolling or screen time or TV watching? Could we maybe repurpose some of that time? So actually we do have the time, but we need to prioritize how we're using our time because it's when we forget to play for a prolonged extended period of time that we see the impact.

And that impact initially might be the job that I once loved has now become something I endure rather than enjoy. And I've become more rigid and this is the way we do it and I will never change the way I do it. And usually when we get to that point in any aspect of our lives that we feel a stuckness You know, I just feel stuck. Something's amiss.

That's usually an indicator that we have forgotten to play. And that's when we need to bring the playfulness back in.

I mean, I think it could be play depending on what you do with it. I mean, I think at one point that is, for me, that's a good example. For me, I would deem reading a very relaxing activity. It's something I do when actually I'm seeking to escape. I want to immerse myself, particularly if I'm reading fiction, immerse myself into another world.
