Happy Tuesday Ya'll!!
Today's blog will be a book review on Play by Stuart Brown. I have attained quite a bit of beneficial information and habits from this book. It has improved the overall quality of my life. I will hope to convey this information in a lucid way to you. But, If there are questions, please feel free to message me. Speaking of questions, I have some for you......
Did you know humans have the ability to continue to learn after we leave our adolescence stage? Animals/mammals do not. But animals do play. Reason being, their brain is shaped for their life and environment through playful acts. Play makes them smarter and tighter mentally. From the learn skills of play, they become more adaptable to their surrounding environment. Essentially they learn about life through playful acts. Humans do as well. Play teaches us to how to share, day dream and about human pain. All three of these learned lessons are vital in our role's in society.
So why do we stop playing? Society always tells to grow up, and stop playing around. But did you know acts of play forestall mental decline? There have been studies on the topic of dementia and the role play, plays in it, no pun intended. :) Acts of play forestalls mental decline because is stimulates neurogenesis. Which will result in the reduction of neurodegenerative disease. So it is fair to say the brain works better by engaging in playful acts.
How can play improve your financial life? Some of the most successful entrepreneurs use imaginative play to attain their success. There was a great example of a story in this book about two CEO's of a major company on the verge of losing their company and jobs. They were going to be replace by several new smarter people. Instead of panicking they decided to imagine what it would be like if they were those smart new hired individuals. How would they change the company? What would they implement that wasn't already done? Needless to say, but they end up keeping their jobs.
So why play? Besides the information listed above, play creates joy with life. There are several groups that I will list below so you can see where you fit. I myself fit in 3-4 categories. And I have found by doing some of the acts I love during the week instead of just watching endless T.V. Shows, has increased my happiness. I believe the mind wants to continue to grow and doesn't want to get into the monotony of your life. If you think of it, your life can be pretty boring during the week. Most individuals will wake up, go to work, go home, watch a lot of T.V. and then go to bed. Sounds pretty boring. Why not engage in activity that could improve your life and your families life? Humans were made for a high level of mental engagement. T.V. does not offer that. It can bring a level of enjoyment and is necessary for days of rest, but it does nothing for your long term health.
Here are the groups of play. I hope you find the ones that work best for you! And I encourage to try implement 2 hours of play each week. I know you will feel the benefit. That is a half an hour for 4 days.
