Today I am continuing my series of 17 blog posts sharing what I learned in 2011.
Another lesson I learned in 2011 is that I need to take time to play.
Taking time to play is something that I have not been very good at in the past. As a leader I have a strong work ethic and passion to serve others. This means I spend lots of time working and not a lot of time playing.
However, I believe it is good that regardless of how busy you are, you need to take some time to play.
Play can be anything from going on a walk, playing video games, riding snow machines in Alaska, or golfing. The important part of taking time to play is that you find something that is enjoyable to you.
For me, taking time to play is going golfing and riding snow machines or ATVs in Alaska with family. Those are things where I get to enjoy a physical release of tension and I get to enjoy "going for it." I get to take risks, challenge myself, compete against others, and have fun.
In 2011 I learned that I need to take more time to play.
Question: What do you do to "play" and how does it serve you?
