People with high levels of playfulness may be better equipped to cope with dud cards life throws at them.

Researchers at Oregon State University in the U.S. made this discovery by studying how 503 US adults experienced the Covid pandemic.

People with higher levels of spontaneity, lower inhibitions and a greater propensity to seek out fun were just as realistic about the risks and challenges they were confronted with.

True playfulness doesn’t require a playground, games, or toys.

Instead, it’s about bringing a spirit of openness, creativity, and fun to everyday moments.

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany found that instructing people to try using their playfulness in a different way each day led to small to moderate increases in their self-reported playfulness over the next three months .
