Remember when you were a kid and turned everything into a game?
Whether it was racing to see who could run the fastest, avoiding cracks on the sidewalk, or making up silly challenges with friends…
We knew how to keep things exciting.
Now, as adults, we often forget how powerful playfulness can be—especially when building new, healthy habits.
Think about it…
How enjoyable would meal prepping or getting your workouts feel if you treated it like a game?
What if you:
- Set up a reward system for yourself.
- Earned points for sticking to your plan.
- Or even give yourself playful “consequences” for missing a goal—like adding 5 minutes of stretching if you skip a workout or keep watching your favorite show until meal prep is done?
The point is…
What if you made it FUN?
Research even backs this up.
A study found that gamifying goals helped participants increase their physical activity levels—and they kept it up even 8 weeks after the study ended!
So, if you’re working on creating more movement in your day or finding balance in your busy life, try turning it into a game this week.
It doesn’t have to be complicated—just something that brings a little joy to your day. 😊
