Playing like a kid

When is the last time you played like a kid? How about skee-ball or an arcade game (for you, not to win a stuffy for your kids 👋🏽)?

When was the last time you spent time playing with a puppy just because they are so adorable?

I’m at a three-day conference to learn more about the best in class leadership development programs and strategies.

And you know what they have in the expo hall? A massive space to PLAY and recharge.

They have skee-ball, games, and then you can get “zen” music headphones if you want to lay on a hammock (yes hammocks) or swing on a circular massive swing, and rest.

And they have puppies to play with.

6-week old puppies.

The one pictured with me is meatball.

When was the last time you hugged a puppy?

Don’t underestimate how powerful these seemingly small things can be for our self-care.

It doesn’t have to be an hour to have an impact. I only had 5 minutes with the puppies. It was everything.

I dare you to not feel joy and wonder seeing puppies play and hugging a puppy.

To your self-care and joy this week.
