Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we’ve stopped playing. There are many benefits of playing for adults, which include increased creativity, productivity, and feelings of wellbeing. Hula Hooping can boost your energy and vitality and even improve your resistance to disease, helping you feel your best. The continuous, whole body movement gets the energy flowing, essential for creativity. According to a study into Fluid Movement and Creativity, fluid movement plays a significant role in enhancing creativity in three domains: creative generation, cognitive flexibility, and the ability to make remote connections. That is, your brain will be ready to generate new, original ideas and find fresh angles and possibilities. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
