The Power in Playfulness: 5 Ways to be more playful when struggle strikes

Traci Knight Season 1 Episode 18

Playfulness is a powerful, often overlooked tool for navigating life’s challenges. It’s not about ignoring struggle, but about shifting your perspective to lighten the emotional load. When you approach life with a playful spirit, you allow yourself to be curious instead of critical, creative instead of confined, and resilient instead of rigid. Being playful doesn't mean being irresponsible—it means staying open, adaptive, and willing to find joy even in chaos. You can be playful by laughing at the little mishaps, turning daily tasks into mini-adventures, dancing in your kitchen, or simply choosing to respond with lightness instead of stress. In the face of struggle, ask yourself: “How can I make this fun?” That one question can change the tone of your entire day. Play is not just for children—it’s a mindset that can help you pivot with power, stay centered, and keep your energy high even when life gets heavy.

5 ways: 

1. Name the moment like a movie scene 

2. Have a Pivot song ready 

3. Use the What if it's a game? Trick 

4. Talk to yourself like a kid

5. Play the 60-second reset game 



5 reminders of being childlike: 

1. Ask for help, not hide it

2. Make it a game 

3. Move their body freely

4. Express emotions and move on 

5. Get Curious, Not Critical
