Play the need to UNPLUG

May 12, 2019 by beneaththestitches Leave a Comment

Now we have constant work and stress, we HAVE to unwind. When we are children as soon as a class is finished we run outside and play. We release and have fun. This is what our brain needs to do as adults. I had thought that watching TV and scrolling through social media was relaxing … [Read more…]
