Part-Time Wellness is the podcast where we redefine wellness and create wellness habits that enhance our lives, not overtake it.

Why Play is a CRUCIAL Element of Wellness

What would you dream of doing all day if you didn't have limitations on time, money, or anything else? What is something you do that feels like time disappears when you do it?

When we were kids, it was vital for us to find ways to play throughout our days. Aside from designated recreational times, our imaginations were constantly flowing with ways to have fun during long car rides, waiting rooms, and even when we were just in the house on a rainy day. This episode will discuss three ways you can and should incorporate play into your life and why it is a crucial element of wellness. Don't worry! If you are ready to toss aside the laundry and enjoy a few minutes of your day after this episode, I have even more actionable and sustainable tips in my Wellness with ADHD Digital Course. Let's dive in!

"Play just kind of helps us tap into that part of our brain that is open to experimentation, open to trying new things, and just able to see the bigger picture and find solutions that work for us." - Chelsea Uithoven.

Highlights from this episode:

  • Hyper-focusing on afternoon rest (3:07)
  • Documenting and sharing my One Small Step Method in my Wellness with ADHD Digital Course (6:06)
  • Defining "play" in our life (8:25)
  • The point of playing (10:20)
  • You don't have to have an outcome when playing (12:31)
  • Why play matters for wellness and ADHDers (13:41)
  • The effects on dopamine and motivation (14:17)
  • Getting into an experimentation mindset (16:57)
  • Happiness doesn't require reason (20:01)
  • How you can play more in your life (22:38)
  • Figuring out what play is for you (27:30)
  • A quick assignment you can do now (28:53)
  • Creating a Play Menu to enjoy your free time (29:12)
  • Using the Wellness with ADHD Digital Course to play your way through making a plan (30:45)

I hope this episode has encouraged you to play a little more in your life. Remember, play is a mindset of doing something just for fun and for the enjoyment of it, not for an outcome! I'd love to hear about how you plan to incorporate play into your life! Please go ahead and share with me on social. I want to hear from you!
