To be truly in balance, the mind and body must dance together. When we are engaged in sports, outdoor games or activities, movement is required, but done in the name of fun. Creative play, displayed through artistic or musical expression—or appreciation, on the stage or the written page, can provide the mental stimulation and exhilarating challenge that housework and paperwork cannot. The mind, too craves fun and games: puzzles, card and board games, hobbies, or crafts, and needs this time on a regular basis, not just reserved for vacation, holidays, or retirement. This inspirational book encourages frequent “road trips” and “field days” where you can spend a whole day doing your favorite type of activity—be it mind, creative, and/or active play.
For those who have stopped or never played, this is your invitation to try something from your carefree childhood days or something brand new. Included in this motivational book are many bribes, charms and tricks to get you started playing, tips on how to still go outside when there’s adverse weather trying to stop you, and recipes to heal like ‘Sore Muscle Baths’ and “Massage Oil Mixes’. With the book’s list of ‘Creative Sparks,’ you will be inspired to release the hidden artist inside you and be encouraged “To play well and often!” Every woman deserves to be active and creative.
Great to Motivate You to Allow Fun Into Your Life: “This book is a wonderful, playful, and beautiful book filled with ideas, quotations, explanations, and persuasive writing about how and why it is important to make the time and effort to play. Especially good for those women who are workaholics, this book will help women to see that play can really source the rest of their life, including their work life, and that it need not take a lot of time—a few minutes here and there can make a difference. I loved reading it, and found it inspirational and motivational for me in feeling less guilt (and hopefully, someday NO guilt) when incorporating fun into my life.”
