Unstructured, creative play has been shown to have a wide range of benefits, and not just for kids. Adults who engage in spontaneous, expressive activities tend to have lower rates of cognitive decline, higher self-esteem, less stress, better relationships, and improved resilience/adaptability to their environments. Play comes in a variety of forms, so choose the activities that bring you the most joy, and/or the ones that you can easily fit into your schedule. Everything from painting to pottery, poker night to pickup basketball goes a long way to help your mental, emotional, and physical health.

This time you choose what essential oils/products make you come alive and feel full of life. Which aromas bring you joy and uplift your spirit? Use those and have fun!
