The Power of Playfulness
Life transitions can feel heavy, but friendships remind us that it’s okay to set the weight down, even for a little while. Playfulness isn’t just for children—it’s a powerful way to reconnect with joy and strengthen bonds.
Think about the friends who bring out your silly side—the ones who make you dance in the kitchen, play board games until midnight, or laugh so hard you cry. These moments of play are more than fun; they’re healing. They remind you that even in difficult times, life still holds room for lightness.
This holiday season, let yourself embrace playfulness. It’s a gift not only to your friends but also to yourself.
Journaling Prompt: When was the last time you laughed or played with a friend? How did it make you feel, and how can you create more moments like that?
