As we age we become more prone to issues that affect our health and happiness. Activities that can help us restore or prolong our vitality are essential. Having fun is more powerful in that regard than most people realize. In fact, studies show that play and fun activities can have major benefits. Improve How Your Brain Works: Playing and having fun can help you avoid memory problems and enhance your creativity and mental sharpness. Maintain Relationships: Our social lives are important for our overall well-being. Things like laughter and conversation, increase harmony, trust, empathy, and intimacy among people who experience them together. Improve Your Mental and Emotional Well-Being: Engaging in fun and playful activities can expand your optimism, moments of joy, reduce your stress and help you prevent depression. Extend Your Life and Improve Your Physical Vitality: Who doesn't want to feel younger or more energetic? Creating fun moments in your life can be a good way to boost your immune system, reduce the risk of illness, and minimize your perception of any existing pain you might already have. Focus on voluntary activities that don't come with any kind of obligation or that offer some flexibility in how you can enjoy them. Are your existing hobbies still good sources of fun? If so, keep pursuing them. Teaching other people about something you have a passion for can be highly enjoyable and rewarding. Favorite activities include reading, arts and crafts, existing hobbies, games and puzzles, and socializing. Keep doing anything that makes it feel lighter and causes you to smile. 2 KleinLife: Montgomery County Dr. Gabriel & Alma Elias Center January-February 2018
