Are We Missing the Meaning?
Deciphering the significance of child’s play
The child’s body knows and senses what happens in the surrounding reality. The mind of the body shapes games about what occurs to it and the adults nearby.
Just take heed of the make-believe games children engage in!
But how many adults possess the eyes and ears to perceive such remarkable reflections of their unconscious? Often, we have these shut away in our subconscious due to our experiences. Our history is inscribed within the fabric of our minds.
Most of the time, we shoo away these reflections, akin to buzzing insects. Additionally, we’re inclined to discourage how little ones create meanings, treating them as simple games devoid of significance.
A child’s play typically mirrors the interactive reality within the nest, the home. This realization was truly astounding to me, and I wanted to share it.
How does your child play? Have you paid attention lately?

Hobbies and Life Go Together No Matter What
When you look at the way you live your life and then you look at the things you do to help you relax in that life what comes to mind. Is the first thing that comes to mind something that has to do with hobbies and how much you get out of them when you do them. Now you are probably wondering, what this means an example of this, is that hobbies is what makes life what it is, so do the things you enjoy to relax, workout, or watch television, or read or even do art projects or projects with string. Or even play music or a sport. These are just a few things that are considered hobbies and in the end can be great ways to keep your life going. This means that doing your hobbies while you are working and knowing how to take breaks from working and actually do your hobbies is great. An example of this could be, actually taking twenty minutes a day or an hour and reading that book that you keep telling yourself you are going to start. Or do that art project you keep telling yourself you are going to get around too. Or take fifteen minutes and clean out that annoying miscellaneous drawer that you keep telling yourself you will get around too it and have yet to do.
