Child's play

Take inspiration from the young when it comes to wellness!

- Gabriella Del Grande, Amber Bramble

Meditation, breathing exercises, journalling – there are many exercises out there to help you with mindfulness. But have you thought about picking up your child’s puzzle or board game instead? It might sound silly, but it turns out “adult play” could be a real driver in combating stress.

RELEASE YOUR INNER CHILD

According to the Lego Play-Well Study 2020, play helps eight in 10 adults relax.

“Sometimes as adults, we need to give ourselves permission to play, to laugh, to connect or just take a break,” says Sean Hall, mental health advocate and CEO of productivity and mental wellbeing consultancy service, Energx (energx.com.au).
