We often think of play as something that is just for kids, but did you know that play has just as many benefits for adults as children benefiting both our physical and mental health. Yet because adults don’t understand its value, they often don’t make room for play in their everyday lives.

In today’s episode, Quinn teaches listeners:

1. How play affects your creativity and stress
2. The 8 types of play
3. Easy ways to incorporate play in your lives for the new year

Mind Renewal Tip:
We often assume that play ends with childhood but do not understand that play continues to benefit our minds and bodies well beyond the child years.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22
