Work and Play

In order to feel well, we need a balance of enjoyable and important things to do, the experiences of “pleasure and mastery”.

If we pursue only fun things and neglect our responsibilities, we’ll starve ourselves of a sense of accomplishment. On the other hand, we need to balance our work with play.

Finding joy in serious business is one of the best ways to relieve tension.
