Lately I’m finding the days seem more stressful. I often take on more than I actually have time for, and then there are always the unexpected curveballs that life throws your way just for fun – snowstorms, stomach flus, flat tires.
One of the ways I cope with all this is taking a break from it all and playing some fun online games. It’s so nice to have that mental vacation, and I find that when I come back to the problem, I either have a solution or it just doesn’t seem quite as bad.
I don’t know why it feels so cathartic and joyful to bash a bunch of bricks or pop hundreds of balloons, but it does! And there’s no mess and nothing to clean up afterward.
Also, gaming has benefits for the entire family. It can help with learning, with hand-eye coordination and with keeping our minds flexible at any age.
I’ve been enjoying Play2Shop, a fun online community where you can play games, earn rewards and get free stuff!
In addition to all this, Play2shop offers cash back and points for online shopping at over 1,000 partner merchants including stores like Amazon, Macy’s, Sears, Nordstrom, Tiger Direct, Kohls, Toys ‘r Us and more.
Points can also be accumulated at Play2Shop by playing the many games on the site or entering contests. I found the games to be a lot of fun as they run the gamut from arcade games (very nostalgic!) to puzzle games, card games, strategy and more!
