Why It’s Not A Frivolous Activity

“I don’t have time for that! I’m too busy!”

These are the words of a Leader on the verge of Failure.

Leaders indeed have many responsibilities in life that they have to attend to, but often Leaders are HORRIBLY Mis-Focused.

When you look at Peak Performance, sometimes there are aspects that “seem” strange, until you look deeper into Psychophysiology.

One of the most misunderstood aspects of Peak Performance is the role of Play.

Most Leaders believe that Play is a “Frivolous Activity” with no role in Business.

However, that is an incorrect assumption when you look at how our Bodies and Minds work.

Let’s look at the reasons why Play is actually ESSENTIAL to Successful Leadership!

Happiness Mindset

In a previous article, I wrote how there is a difference between the Emotion of Happiness and a Happiness Mindset.

Both have roles in Success, but for right now I’m going to Focus on the Happiness Mindset.

See, Play is something that creates Happiness in our lives.
