Play is any activity we do purely for fun, without any practical purpose. It’s good-for-you goofing off.

Inspiration for having more play in your life

  • Take a day off with nothing planned and see where it leads.

  • Read something just for pleasure.

  • Make a list of activities that are your idea of play ― puzzles, snorkelling, cooking, dancing, reading, skydiving, going to the movies … ― and then put time in your calendar for those things.

  • Book a regular date with friends who make you laugh.

  • Take a child to the park and play along.

  • Do something totally, wildly out of character. 

Self-reflection

When I think about being more playful, what springs to mind?

““Just go up to somebody on the street and say ‘You’re it!’ and then run away.””
— Ellen DeGeneres

About Calm Cards 
About Calm Cards 

We created these cards as a way to intentionally cultivate the qualities that support us in showing up for ourselves and others, in ways that feel nourishing and meaningful. 

We encourage you to engage with the Calm Cards in whatever way feels best. Here are a few ways that we love to use them:

  • Pick a card in the morning to set an intention for the day

  • Pick a card on a Sunday to set an intention for the week

  • Pick a card on the first day of the month to set an intention for the month

  • Pick a card when you’re feeling stuck, to see what happens when you infuse more of that quality into your day

  • Pick a card when you’re struggling with another person to explore what qualities might bring more ease into your relationship

  • Pick a card and use it as journaling prompt

  • Pick a card and use it in your meditation practice

  • Pick a card to use with a partner or group — like a book club, but an intention club; connect daily or weekly or monthly and share your experiences

  • Send a card to a friend who may need some inspiration

Check out the entire collection of Calm Intentions here.

We’ve also put all of the cards in a lovely booklet for you to use as a mindfulness tool, a journal full of inspiration for your practice. Download the Calm Intentions Journal here!
