Add Play to Your Routine

A patient in the OPD once said, “Doctor, I do everything by the rules... but I still feel tired.” The answer lies in playfulness.

Patients who are a little playful respond better to treatment.

What exactly is playfulness? “Play = Serious Self-Care” Playfulness means living lightly.

Play is not a waste of time. It's a reset button for your nervous system.

Logic: During play, dopamine and oxytocin are released. This protects you from burnout.

How to do it? Walking, singing, drawing, crosswords, gardening. Don't focus on the result; enjoy the process.

Play is not a luxury; It's a survival skill.

Your routine stays the same, Only the mental stress is released.
