Play...

​It was somewhere in the early 1980’s on a hot summer day, when Linda came home from work, dressed in her beautiful business attire, only to discover that her daughter, my best friends Stacy, and I had been embroiled in a water fight to make the local water conservancy hyperventilate. We had hoses, buckets, and zero mercy.

As Linda’s car pulled up in the driveway, I saw her break out in a big beautiful laugh as she quickly locked all of her doors and sat in her currently dry condition, pondering how to keep it that way.
 
What happened next surprised me. Rather than threatening us within an inch of our lives, which is what would likely have happened at my house, she simply decided there was no avoiding it, grabbed her purse, and bolted for the house as quickly as she could. She got no more than 5 feet before she looked like a drowning kitten, but she was laughing hysterically all the way into the house and for the rest of the evening.
 
I couldn’t believe it! Not only did she not get angry with us, she actually embraced it, and us in the process.
 
The final step in the Fish! Philosophy that unleashes your potential and that of those around you is the concept of Play. Too often we take ourselves far too seriously. We forget that every task, no matter how simple or repetitive, can be fun if we make up our minds to make it be.
 
Can you add a little play into your work? Your home life? Into the way you cook, shop, or clean? In my Intuitive Eating Group Meetings, we even turned our quest to change our relationship with food into a game! Playing releases powerful endorphins that create feelings of connection and satisfaction, leaving everyone involved better off in the end.
 
So when life seems a little overwhelming, perhaps you can consider implementing the Fish! Philosophy of Play into your day!
