Play, flow, and problem solving!

Your spirit needs playtime! Do you allow it in your life? How? Do you think it
frivolous? A waste of time? Submerged in the responsibilities of life,
seriousness of world affairs, and the demands of work, we often forget…or think
that it is not allowed. Do you usually play alone, or in groups? Can we use that
energy to create in our day to day life, instead of drudgery? Do you match the energy of your problems?


In the animal world, the wolf pup that will most likely become the leader is the
one who initiates play first. Not aggressive, domineering behavior, but play. Is
it social inclusion? A release of tension? Present moment joy?


Most animals have a sense of play throughout their entire lives, but that is not
always the case with humans. With jobs, kids, work, responsibilities,
multitasking, even the seriousness of world events, we humans take ourselves so
seriously, that we end up setting our spaces, even problem solving, from that
serious, and sometimes heavy space. If you’ve ever created while in a fun space:
focused, and in the flow, oblivious to the world of effort, you are not only
handling things, but you are healing yourself as well!



Mark Beem, PHD at Northwestern University, found that people have an easier time
solving a puzzle after watching a short comedy clip. By easing tension, having
fun may facilitate neural connectors that are helpful for greater mental
flexibility and creativity. In another study, Mark found that activation of
pleasure sensors in the brain predicted successful puzzle solving. These
findings suggest that well being, amusement and play, help us think more
creatively, and could potentially help us resolve our challenging situations.


Play also expands our social resources as well, improving our ability to connect with
others. It loosens our tension; taking a break, and engaging in a totally
frivolous act. And that act can unhinge our worries, to see our challenging
situations in a new light; using different parts of our brain. It gives us a
sense of belonging, inclusion, well being. Did I just say a well…
Being?


Play is a natural outcome of a joyful mind. It is also a choice of context in going
about your busy day. Why not create from joy? Drama, aggression, victim, martyr,
frantic, and stuck in the past or future are some other choices, but present
time focus and fun, are invigorating, healing, validating, and your brain, and
your spirit will thank you for it! Problem solving, and accomplishing from this place is effortless, and answers come easily, from other parts of your brain (remember, we only use 10%), and also from spirit.


Play…and being in the present moment allows us to inhabit our enthusiasm (Greek from “en
theos” translation = “with God”). Adults only spend about 50 percent of their
time in the present moment (present time, the only place where you have access
to your power)! Children live in it, joyfully creating with boundless energy;
the elderly focus here in their wisdom, knowing the finite quality of life, they
savor each moment. Animals exist in present time. When we as adults with our
wandering minds worry about the future, or get stuck in the past, we exhaust
ourselves of our precious energy, and our tasks then are not so fun, and we are
not there to enjoy anything.


THE FLOW…Being empowered, and completely immersed in present time, and timelessly absorbed by completely focusing on the task at hand. You are left energized, enthusiastic, uplifted, and in a state of joy, and accomplishment.
And, of course, a well Being.


Play, present time, and flow, to problem solve and create in your life, and heal
yourself. You deserve it. Create from joy!
