Playing like a kid

Writer's picture: Arivee VargasArivee Vargas

When is the last time you played like a kid? How about skee-ball or an arcade game (for you, not to win a stuffy for your kids ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ)?


When was the last time you spent time playing with a puppy just because they are so adorable?


Iโ€™m at a three-day conference to learn more about the best in class leadership development programs and strategies.


And you know what they have in the expo hall? A massive space to PLAY and recharge.


They have skee-ball, games, and then you can get โ€œzenโ€ music headphones if you want to lay on a hammock (yes hammocks) or swing on a circular massive swing, and rest.


And they have puppies to play with.


6-week old puppies.


The one pictured with me is meatball.


When was the last time you hugged a puppy?


When was the last time you played like a kid?


Donโ€™t underestimate how powerful these seemingly small things can be for our self-care.


It doesnโ€™t have to be an hour to have an impact. I only had 5 minutes with the puppies. It was everything.


I dare you to not feel joy and wonder seeing puppies play and hugging a puppy.


To your self-care and joy this week.
