Play theory

Have I told you guys about Play Theory?

Because it is pretty awesome.

It's this club on campus that my friends happen to be starting, well...starting the USU chapter. They were in it down in LDS Business college.

Anyway, it is a club that is all about learning life skills, like happiness, through improv games.

Right up my alley, right?

So we have 4 principles that we focus on and learn about and practice through playing, they are as follows :

1. Be 100% present.
2. Let go and play.
3. Say yes, and...
4. Look outward.

Are these not great principles to live life by?

Be 100% present
I feel like this one is self explanatory. It is hard to accomplish much of anything, if you are not in the moment. You have to be aware of the now to enjoy the now.

Let go and play.
Seriously, stop taking yourself so seriously. Life is also meant to be enjoyed.

Say yes, and...
Don't always be the one to say no. Except what life throws you and the add to it.

Look Outward.
When you try to make others look good, you inadvertently make yourself look good.

Theses are just Mandy's translations of the principles, the real ones are much more eloquent.

But basically. I love play theory, and I am so glad I get to go play once a week.
