Use that inner child to make some fun out of your job, chores or any other responsibilities. Remember there are millions of games out there! From Poker to the Sims, Candy Crush to Where's Wally.

I just want to put it out there how under rated play doh is. As an adult, we get into this mindset that it's just another toy. As an artist, I often fall prey to the thought process of, well I may as well make some pottery then or a statue to fire. No. One of my favourite memories is buying a $2 tub of play doh spontaneously during grocery shopping. Asking my best friend to come over and play with it with me. AS AN ADULT. We made pizzas and laughed for hours. ### CHALLENGE ### I challenge YOU to spontaneously PLAY like you did when you were a kid. The next toy you find. Pick it up and play. By yourself, with a friend. I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed! 👇 Comment below what it was and how you felt! 👇

How many of us know how to rest? Or, when it's time to rest. As an over-thinker, I often find that rest feels counter-productive. Resting is different for everyone. Generally, it should make us feel good! For me, as I've grown into the person I am now, rest feels like rejuvenation and I gain insightful inspirations! A more positive perspective on rest is the 3 Rs: Retreat. Regroup. Re-inspire. 🏝 Retreat Literally, run away. What location will make you feel comfortable. Where do you want to be? 🎠 Regroup Get back in touch with yourself! What do you want? What do you like? What makes you feel free? Think back to when you were a child. I garantee you it will still make you smile. Even if you just feel silly. 🧖‍♀️ Re-inspire Just feel better. Relax. Feel accomplished that you have set aside this valuable time for yourself! You've done it! Congratulations! As someone that doesn't rest easily due to environmental factors, genetics and just everyday things you need to do.🤦‍♀️ Thinking of it in terms of health and life progression 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ or getting to where you want to be, makes this concept and process a much easier pill to swallow! 🧑‍💻 As my father was a workaholic for majority of my life, I have see it first hand how having insufficient rest can be counter-productive to your life progression. There is no room for enjoyment or fun to grow and progress in personal, family or social life aspects. There is burnout and exhaustion which limits any growth in your career. 🤯 BUT, I don't have any time for rest... Well, you do. It comes down to prioritising. Learning HOW to prioritise yourself! This is much easier to do when you understand that there is no progression, without rest or the 3 Rs. ⏱️ Rather than time, work on adjusting your view point to progress! 📈 When choosing an activity for your self, an easy starting place is ... 'what feels good.' 🥳 Have you had very little sleep? Well, maybe a nap is in order! Have you not been to the gym and you know you would love that feeling of accomplishment? You know where to go.
