II found this YouTube video from Gabor Mate, and it made me reflect on the importance of playfulness. Playfulness is so much underrated nowadays in the world where achieving is the main mantra. Very often, as an Alexander Teacher, Therapist, Jiu Jitsu Practitioner, and above all a human being, I found so challenging to keep playing and exploring. Very often, we learn and apply, and create a life made of habits, certainties, absolutisms. We forget that all our interests can be much more appreciated when the switch "play and explore" is on. We learn that certainty and repetitive routines are safe and important. And they are. But not with a full stop. To be playfull is to keep ourselves curious and open, in a fast world of determinism and high achievement. Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0yqlInedZM&t=6s
