PLAY // Alongside purpose and pleasure, play is one of my words this year.

It’s more than just having fun — it’s a biological imperative that we’ve lost sight of in our adult lives. Play lowers our stress, promotes healthy dopamine release and is a powerful portal to neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to change and grow)

According to our favorite neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, play is homeostatically regulated meaning if we are restricted from playing for a certain amount of time, we will play more when given the opportunity.

Which makes perfect sense that half of my tribe is dancing in the dust right now at Burning Man to make up for lost time.

Remembering some of my most joyful, ridiculous and liberating moments on the playa…

…heckling crazy marathoners one morning dressed as sharks

…getting chased down the road by a moving porta potty

…watching the Man burn from our art car and my hair catching on fire from an ember minutes later

…getting lost looking for a Lee Burridge set and discovering a giant gramophone (La Victrola) playing jazz at sunrise

…jumping into an impromptu Disco Space Shuttle family portrait which makes me miss my people so much

Finding time to play and experiencing wonder with others can stimulate our imagination, help us solve problems, foster intimacy and flood our bodies with feel-good chemicals.

Could there be a better prescription for health & happiness? #playful #burningman #neuroscience
