Mindful Monday for Sept. 28

Mindful Monday for Sept. 28

The Mindful Monday for this week is a reminder to play! When did we stop playing? It was probably sometime in our teenage years, when we got the message that it wasn’t cool anymore to play and be silly. But when we were kids, we didn’t worry what everyone else thought. The joy of the moment blocked out everything else. Psychologists believe that play is just as essential for adults as for kids. When you see a puddle, jump in it. When you have the chance to color, do it! When we let ourselves experience those nostalgic moments, it boosts our creativity, satisfaction and self-confidence.
