Scheduled Play

I blocked off one hour yesterday evening to play games with friends — I had a great time and it went a long way in helping to relieve some stress that had accumulated from recent challenges.

At first the thought of scheduling time to play seems silly. After all, play feels like something that should occur spontaneously.

But then again, when life gets busy it can become all too easy to forget to go out and have fun.

Scheduling time for fun with the same discipline that we schedule anything else in life is a powerful way to reaffirm to ourselves that our well-being is a top priority.
