Rediscover the Joy of Movement!

Week 6: Recharge and Reflect – Celebrate Your Progress!

Hey challengers! Welcome to Week 6 of the 90 Days of Play Challenge! This week is all about taking a breather,reflecting on your journey so far, and celebrating your progress.

This Week’s Focus:

Let’s be honest, even challengers need a pit stop for refueling! This week, we’re hitting pause on the high-energy activities and prioritizing reflection and celebration. Pat yourselves on the back – you’ve come a long way!

Quadruple the Fun!

But wait, play doesn’t completely stop! This week, we’re adding a FOURTH surprise “spontaneous fun” timer to your day. Four bursts of joyful movement are still better than three, right? These mini-breaks can be anything that sparks a smile – a quick dance party, a silly game with a co-worker, or a few jumping jacks to get your blood flowing.

Reflection Time:

Now, buckle up for some introspective fun! This week is dedicated to reflecting on your experience with the 90 Days of Play Challenge so far. Grab a journal, your favorite beverage, and get comfy. Here are some questions to guide your reflection:

• How has incorporating regular play changed your mood or energy levels?
• Have you noticed any improvements in your relationships or stress levels?
• What are your favorite fun activities that you’ve discovered or rediscovered so far?

Benefits of Play:

Did you know that making play a priority offers a plethora of benefits that extend far beyond just having fun? Take a moment to learn about the science behind play and how it can positively impact your life:

• Stronger Relationships: Playing together fosters connection and strengthens bonds with friends and family.
• Improved Cognitive Function: Play can enhance memory, focus, and problem-solving skills.
