Seeing children play is a joyous moment in itself\u2014we are often brought back to a simpler time, when life was about having fun and enjoying ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Play allows us to learn how to be creative and helps nurture critical thinking, personality development, and adaptive pathways for us in childhood. The benefits of play are far-reaching, but we often give up <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/the-argument-for-adult-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">play as adults<\/a> for more serious pursuits such as our <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/finding-balance-in-work-and-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">careers<\/a>, our relationships, and our families\u2014all of which are valid pursuits.<\/p>\n<p>But what if we could tap into play to enhance our life experiences, our professions, our relationships, and our family lives as adults as well?<\/p>\n<p>Play for adults is critical in our stressful go-go-go lives. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national\/health-science\/why-its-good-for-grown-ups-to-go-play\/2017\/05\/19\/99810292-fd1f-11e6-8ebe-6e0dbe4f2bca_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Play has been shown<\/a> to release endorphins, improve brain functionality, and stimulate creativity. And it can even <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/how-yoga-keeps-you-young\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">help to keep us young<\/a> and feeling energetic. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parentingscience.com\/benefits-of-play.html\">Studies<\/a> show that play improves memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex. Play has also been shown to trigger the secretion of BDNF, a substance essential for the growth of brain cells.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that may often stop us from playing is that we, as adults, get very set on <em>who<\/em> we are and the types of activities that we do and do not like. But play is healthy and fun, so it benefits us to figuratively\u2014or literally\u2014roll the dice and allow play back into our lives.<\/p>\n<p>One of the definitions of play, from the Oxford English Dictionary, is to wield lightly and freely; to keep in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t like to experience more moments of lightness and freedom in our days? <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/why-play-should-be-a-priority-in-every-adults-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Play is so key<\/a> and yet so often overlooked in adulthood. Fortunately we can easily create a play practice in our lives as there are many different ways to play and many different types of play. Stuart Brown, MD, has been studying play for decades and in his book, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Play-Shapes-Brain-Imagination-Invigorates\/dp\/1583333789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Play<\/a>,<\/em> he outlines the five play archetypes that he has observed during his years of research. He discussed these and more in his TED Talk, titled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/stuart_brown_says_play_is_more_than_fun_it_s_vital\/transcript?language=en#t-472000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Play is more than just fun<\/a>\u201d (paraphrased and expanded upon below).<\/p>\n<h3>Rough-and-Tumble Play<\/h3>\n<p>Rough-and-tumble play is a great learning medium for all of us. Diving, batting, tug-of-war, capture the flag, scavenger hunts, kickball, and dodge ball are all ways to play actively. According to Dr. Brown, through this form of play we develop emotional regulation as well as cognitive, emotional, and physical mastery.<\/p>\n<h3>Ritual Play<\/h3>\n<p>Chess, board games, and activities or sports with set rules and structures all fall into the world of <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/break-the-habit-start-a-ritual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ritual<\/a> play. It is in ritual play that we can create, strategize, design, and engage in activities that bring people together for a common purpose or goal.<\/p>\n<h3>Imaginative Play<\/h3>\n<p>Remember when you were a child and had so much fun living out your fantasies and letting your imagination run wild? This is what imaginative play is all about! <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/what-coloring-as-an-adult-taught-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coloring<\/a>, storytelling, painting, drawing, crafting, and acting, as well as comedy and improv classes all foster our imaginations through play.<\/p>\n<h3>Body Play<\/h3>\n<p>Brown defines body play as a spontaneous desire to get ourselves out of gravity\u2014how much fun is this form of play! Yoga, Pilates, hiking, whitewater rafting, riding roller coasters, mountain climbing, surfing, and snorkeling all fit the mold of body play.<\/p>\n<h3>Object Play<\/h3>\n<p>This form of play will really bring us back to our childhoods as object play can encompass building with Legos, playing with Jenga blocks, building fortresses, and can even having snowball fights. Manipulation of objects, building, and designing all fall into the object play category.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other ways that we can play and many others categories of play. We\u2019ve already gone over the positive benefits of playing, so heads-up, the side effects may include (but are not limited to): improved cognitive functioning, being able to deal with stress with greater ease and fluidity, creative thinking, childlike exuberance, and laughing more often. Experiment a bit to find what works for you, as we all could use a bit more play in our responsible, adult lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-105199\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-20-at-11.19.56-AM-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/>Michael Forman is a native of Bronx, New York, and lived in New York City for almost his entire life until he moved to Boise, Idaho with his fiance, Caitlin.
