Leggo for hypomania
Hello folks 🙂 I have made a new discovery.
In searching for a way in which to deal with my restless energy in the evenings I have rediscovered leggo! Who would have thought that little plastic bricks could be handy in taming not only the restless minds and fingers of children but 50 year olds as well!
Step one; sort the leggo. Oh what fun it is to organise! The countless ways in which one can classify..
Step two; Build anything you like. I started with a port, lighthouse and homestead. Last night I built a sailing ship with an all woman pirate crew.
Step three; Develop a backstory. Who are the characters in your creation? What are their emotional lives like? How did they come to be?
Step four; Tell all your friends and family about it. Each time somebody new enters the same room as your leggo (mine is sitting on the kitchen bench so it’s hard to avoid) regale them with a complete run down of your creation and watch their entertaining facial expressions. (Don’t worry if the adults don’t get it - the kids will 🙂
Enjoy!
