Playful Plans

Entering into the second week of 2022, I want to make sure I’m keeping my word of the year in mind. 

I’m the first one to slip into hyper-focus mode to the point I drive myself crazy. Somehow we always end up being our own worst enemy when it comes to this. 

In an attempt to hold myself accountable and maybe inspire you as well, I’ve made a list of ways to incorporate playfulness into everyday life:

• Small changes in your routine can really shake up your day in the best way! Try doing your evening routine first thing at the end of your work day or enjoy dessert before dinner one night.

• Wear color. Try bright clothing, bold pattern, a fun nail color or lipstick.

• Listen to old favorites. Start your day by replaying all your favorite music from the past.

• I’m becoming a big believer in stretching. You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from some movement. Those that sit at a desk or stand all day still need to stretch. It feels great and makes the perfect break in the day.

• Decorate your planner or to do list. Whether you use a physical or digital planner, add color-coordination, stickers, inspiring ideas, anything to make reviewing your calendar more fun and interesting.

I’m going to work on these over the next few months. There’s a lot of room for improvement but the first step is making it fun! That aligns with the playful theme right?

I love you all and hope your 2022 is off to a good start!
