Adult embracing joy and being playful at the start of the new year

Rediscovering Joy: The Power of Being Playful

Being Playful

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
What a time we live in, huh? There is so much abundance but also so much suffering. We can hear about everything happening around the world yet become completely tone deaf to what is happening in our own community. Is this true for you?

As adults, the pressures of life often mold us into more serious versions of ourselves. Over time, our minds, bodies, and hearts can grow stiff. That’s why embracing being playful is more important than ever.

Why Being Playful Matters for a Healthy Life

BEING PLAYFUL
IS A SIGN
OF A HEALTHY PERSON.

As we begin this new year, let’s make a shared commitment: being playful with ourselves, with the people we love, with strangers, and even with destiny. Notice how often you default to seriousness in situations that don’t require it. Step aside, soften your grip, and invite in a little more lightness. Get out of your own way.

Playfulness is not childish—it is a return to your natural, unburdened state. A reminder that joy is a vital nutrient for the soul.

Thank you all so much for your love and support. Everything I do, I do for you. As a New Year’s gift to the Snuggle Tribe, I’ve extended the sale until January 6th! Please take advantage of it before it’s gone.

All my Love,
