When we ditch the plans and get weird, our brains level up! Playtime is like a brain bootcamp - it's all about trying new stuff, laughing, and making silly faces. Who knew being a goofball could be so good for us?

People who are traumatized have a sense that their life is short.
Survival, day by day, is the important thing.
Since survival, getting through the day, is what is important.
Dreams and hopes are forgotten.
Life can become moving from crisis to crisis, drama to drama, day after day, with few or no plans for the future.

Life is about making choices.
When we do not have goals for ourselves, life just happens to us.
By setting goals for the future, a person takes the action that’s needed for life to work.

Exercise plans can change over time.
When you were a child, you may have enjoyed riding a tricycle, climbing trees, or swinging.
Now you may not do any of those activities regularly but instead, you might enjoy a dance game on your gaming system, walking your dog, or playing basketball.
Even what you do now will probably change over time.

Who already uses physical activity to reduce their stress level? What are you currently doing?
