Welcome to what drives you where we explore our human potential and seek the most efficient and effective personal growth methods and celebrate the miracle of just being here, being alive.

I'm your honored guide Kevin Miller in this episode how to drive your health

with inspiring play.

Talking about non-productive activities in essence though what you'll find is these activities

greatly support your overall productivity. I spent a lot of years with really just no place for play. I saw it as unproductive. I felt ultimately I was addicted to productivity. We got to do something even if I'm quote playing with the kids it's doing something productive.

It took a while for me to notice the joy some of my friends had who played and how it seemed

to coincide with their success and joy everywhere else.

Instead of me, Mr. seriousness, always being productive and missing out on a lot of experiences.

It can be a hard issue for the inspiring and success oriented individuals as again this topic of playing fun can sound like a for validity or a luxury it lacks the valor of just you know pushing forward to that big goal and we all know some

people who mainly play don't get much done and we may let that dilute us a

little bit I don't think you're at risk of this if you're listening to this show.

You're likely very productive, maybe too productive-oriented, production-oriented.

And you need some play to inspire and invigorate and rejuvenate you. I mean some people used to view sleep as a

luxury as well, right? Brag about getting four hours of sleep and we know better now.

We're not they're not getting their best. We're not getting our best out of them.

I'm so grateful that now I find people bragging on the other side, hey I'm getting eight hours of sleep.

I had somebody recently saying no man, solid nine hours and then I have great productivity.

So among the truly successful I see they give a priority to play. Budgeting time for non-productive work that gives our emotions a break, our

inspiration a boost, our creativity a boost. So in this episode I'm joined by my great friend Randy James Medical Doctor and

functional medicine expert and we dig into this concept and a lot of you guys

hear Randy and are really interested in what he does as a functional medicine doctor.
