1 FLOWER ELIXIRS FOR MORE JOY, LAUGHTER & FUN BY: LOTUSWEI

2 When was the last time you laughed until tears came streaming down your face? When we were kids, playing a simple game of hide-and-seek could fill a whole room with laughter! As we get older, so does our number of responsibilities. Life can become a routine schedule of what we have to do, with little time left for what we want to do, leaving us tired, overly-serious, and unfulfilled. Do you ever look at a playground and feel nostalgic for the play, laughter and freedom you see? If you think play is only for children, think again! The definition of play: engaging in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than for serious or practical purpose. The idea that play is only for kids is because their actions revolve solely around enjoyment and recreation. In fact, it s their number 1 priority! As adults, we lose sight of the importance of play. But it is vital! Play reduces stress, increases creativity, enhances your connection with others and leaves you with higher energy. The time to de-stress and tap into your inner child needs to be just as high a priority as meeting your important deadlines or making sure you have enough vegetables on your plate. Smiling alone has a major affect on our bodies, inside and out! Our moods and attitudes play off of our facial expressions, commonly referred to as mirroring.

Employees who report being happy at work take 10 times fewer sick days than unhappy employees!
