Playfulness

What does Playfulness mean?
A light touch with a heavy world. Playfulness is taking life seriously without taking it heavily.
Another way of seeing Playfulness
We're taught that play is for children and productivity is for adults. Yet play is how young mammals learn almost everything, and laughter is one of the quickest ways to release tension. The most playful people aren't the ones without problems. They're the ones who refuse to let problems take all the oxygen.
Playfulness in relationships
Couples and friends who play together — inside jokes, silly rituals, teasing that lands softly — tend to weather hard times better. Laughter is a kind of glue.
Playfulness in everyday life
Do one thing today with the wrong amount of seriousness: dance while the kettle boils, race the washing-up, turn a chore into a game.
Carry this with you
Take life seriously, not heavily.
