OWL Success Tip: THE POWER OF PLAY

Play and fun are powerful components of weight loss, or achieving any results, for that matter. Why?

…Because humans veer toward what’s easy, safe, and comfortable; and we resist what’s hard, scary, and painful. Since most people view change as hard, scary, or uncomfortable and since weight loss involves change, it’s understandable that most people cannot successfully release weight and keep it off permanently.

On the other hand, play is fun. When we play, we don’t want to stop. We look forward to the next time. We generate energy. We raise our spirits.

So how can you include the concept of play with your weight loss goals?

OWL Success Tip: Replace the word “exercise” to “recreation,” doing movement that you love, love, love. Or create your menu as a puzzle with all the pieces to fit into one day. Or make a game out of your project with rewards at every milestone. Or invite others with similar goals to play with you as in a team sport. A playful attitude is vital. What playful ideas do you have?

Another more relevant question is “How can you include more play in your life as a whole?” How we do anything is how we do everything. “Wherever I go, there I am.” So if weight loss seems hard, probably other areas in your life are hard. And if weight loss is fun, chances are you are having fun elsewhere.

Take a look at yourself and your life. Are you having enough fun? Be more playful everywhere, and see what happens.
