Do online games really reduce stress?

How are you doing at this time of pandemic? It has been over a year since quarantine has started and so many adjustments have already happened in our lives. Have you discovered a new passion or a hidden talent that you never knew you had but got enhanced? Or maybe an old habit came back again?

So many of us experience many of the things I mentioned above because we were forced to stay home. A lot has shifted from day-to-day office to work from home and face-to-face schooling of our children has transitioned to online learning. But no matter how busy each one of us could be, we couldn't deny that we still experienced boredom and worse — burn-out! Yup, kids and adults alike experienced it and the truth is, so many are still experiencing it as of this writing. Why? Because as humans, we are naturally adventurous and for our sanity's sake, it is advisable that we spend some recreation to free up our minds from our day-to-day activities.

With the quarantine restrictions, both adults and children have turned into playing online games. I'm sure you're one of them because let's face it~ aside from binge-watching, online games are one of the best sources of entertainment within the confines of our home. Am I right or am I right? haha!

Growing up, I've enjoyed playing various gaming consoles. I can say I'm quite lucky my parents bought me such. I'm proud to say as well that even I had the luxury of playing these game consoles when I was a kid — I was disciplined enough to balance my playtime and my study time. So now that I am a Mom, I do not prohibit my daughter from playing too. It is one of the areas where I get to know my daughter even more and her interests as well. I believe games have a lot of benefits to her growing mind like boosting here problem solving skills; improves her social skills because she can interact with her friends; enhances her analytical skills and many more.

In fact, when I get bored I head on to plays.org and play the ever classic solitaire :) heehee. Eversince I discovered the website https://plays.org/ ~ I got hooked on it. it's a Free Browser-Based Online game that brings back down memory lane!

I Super love it because it's FREE.
Play all day and you won't have to worry about hidden and top-up charges. All you need is an internet connection and that's it! Does that sound amazing? For sure!

It has NO PESKY ADS.
We all hate ads! I do not want to be distracted and interrupted in the middle of my game. I mean, who doesn't right!

It has so MANY GAME CHOICES.
It has different categories for both kids and kids at heart. Isn't that cool! From my ever favorite Solitaire simulation games to Arcade games to Education to Sports games and many-many more!!!
