Hello.

Those relational dramas between my Barbies?

Classic storyteller behavior.

Once you have a sense of your play personality as a kid, you can start to think of ways you might like to play now.

For my artist-creator side, I put together a gallery wall of art behind my couch.

For the storyteller, I watch shows with storylines filled with love and betrayal, like Grey's Anatomy.

Another way to find out what kind of play is for you is to listen to the whispers.

And this is takeaway two.

Jeff Harry says, think for a moment about what we started doing when we were stuck at home during the pandemic with nothing to do.

We picked up hobbies, baking sourdough bread, doing embroidery, woodworking.

And that was in part because we were bored.

His challenge for you?

For five or ten minutes a day, put down your phone and your laptop and do nothing.

Whitney heard the whispers when she was working at that engineering job in Seoul.

They were telling her to travel and to start her own YouTube channel.

She started doing improv in Korea.

And then in 2019, she moved to New York to pursue a career in comedy.

And she loves it.

Sometimes smaller, less world-shifting opportunities for play will present themselves.

I was at this event one time, and I was deciding what to do.
