Day 13 - Play

"The flow state has been described as being completely seduced by the present moment. It has this childlike sense of play and wonder with what’s right in front of us."

- Em Hrovat

Other than simply being fun to do, play has a lot of benefits to our psychological well being.

• It boosts mood, as endorphins are released from the brain, these are your feel so good hormones. Endorphins also help relieve pain and keep us feeling energized!

• Play improves brain function, memory and stimulates creativity.

• When done with others, play helps us to feel connected and understood
