Do you know what activity will help your brain stay younger? Nope it’s not sleep, exercise, or what you eat. Yes, they're all healthy brain habits but PLAY has been shown to decrease your brain’s biological age by 6 years! What kind of PLAY? This research study involved doing or learning a creative, skilled based activity. Dancing the Tango, singing or playing an instrument, drawing, or playing real time strategy video games specifically were types of play studied that showed they helped your brain stay younger by improving your overall cognitive function. PLAY taps into your superpower- Neuroplasticity or your brains ability to create new pathways for better movement, focus, mood, and creativity. It helps you regulate your nervous system and can move you into a flow state- fully present, focused, at ease, and in your creative zone. Where time seems to slow down. Movement, Meditation, Exploring, Journaling, Music, or creating Art can all help you get in flow and tap into your Peaceful, Playful, Powerful Body. Unfortunately, we all typically play less as we age. Even dogs stop playing as much as they get older. We have to be more intentional about adding creative PLAY time into our days if we aren’t professional musicians or artists. The busier you are, the more you’ll have to block off some PLAY time each week. OVER TO YOU: Do you need to add more PLAY into your life? If so, what sounds fun to start in January?
