How to find the time for PLAY (exercise) when you think you can’t!

Play Tip No. 3: Put it on the calendar.

It might seem simple, but that’s the whole idea. 🤗⠀
⠀
When you schedule your PLAYtime, make it non-negotiable “me-time,” playing in a way that brings you joy!

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,”
said the wise Benjamin Franklin.

It can be challenging not to move that playtime off the to-do list when life is busy or even when you feel unmotivated.

But, I want you to consider what staying sedentary does to your body – not only does it make you feel awful physically, but it affects you emotionally as well.

In a 2015 Annals of Internal Medicine report, “Sitting for long periods was associated with worse health outcomes including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Sedentary behaviour can also increase your risk of dying, either from heart disease or other medical problems.”*

So, what to do?

1. Don’t cancel your play break.

Find a form of play (exercise) that you know with 100% certainty that you can do daily. Walk, dance, take a class, go swimming, do yoga – the possibilities are endless.

2. Tap into what you liked to do as a kid.

Yesterday I spoke virtually at The 12th Canadian EdTech Conference about this very topic, and they loved it!
