For my Week 3 Reflection, I chose going to the gym as my form of play. The gym is one of the main ways I take care of myself and manage stress. I love being active and listening to music and going to the gym with friends and family. It helps me clear my mind.

Why Play Is Important

Going to the gym reminded me how important it is to take breaks and focus on my health. Play doesn’t always have to be a game, it can also mean doing something enjoyable that helps you feel better either mentally or physically.

Occupational Balance

In occupational therapy, play is important for maintaining balance and well-being. Exercise can be a form of play that helps people stay active and relieve stress. This experience helped me understand how OTs encourage clients to include fun and meaningful activities in their daily routines for better overall health.
