Summary

Today I'm discussing the importance of play in our lives and its role in mental health. Despite living in an information age, the healing we seek is often found in doing rather than thinking. Embracing playfulness and silliness is not only a way to heal a fried nervous system, but it also helps us transition from a survival mindset to a thriving one. So let's dive into why play matters and how it can be a vital part of your mental health journey. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Discover how play can be a powerful tool for improving mental health and helping Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) thrive. In this insightful discussion, I share practical tips on incorporating play into your daily life, from daydreaming and embracing silliness to engaging in creative activities. Learn how reconnecting with your playful side can help transition from survival to thriving, offering essential self-care and nourishment for your well-being.
