Its Playtime!Its Playtime! Stress is becoming an overused term and many of us are possibly desensitized to what is actually going on if we perceive ourselves as stressed. It sounds like busy, or overloaded but what it really means is that our nervous and immune systems are triggering fear chemicals that impact emotions and body systems in ways that can be quite damaging. Stress means that the demands on a system outweigh the resources possessed by that system. So if we want to alter the stress response we have two choices. Either reduce the demands on the system, or increase its resources. To boost the strength of the system, look at food, sleep, exercise and relaxation activities. And look at your level of playtime. How much playtime do you devote to each week? Playtime provides a protective buffer that allows us to move more easily through the things we need to do. Play is an attitude or state of mind that makes work quite unnecessary and may even change the perception of stress! Playtime starts now!
