The Importance of Being Silly
You might think being silly is just for kids, but that light-hearted carefree feeling can actually be good for you and your relationships. There definitely is a time and place for “adulting”, but being serious all of the time can lead to an unhealthy heaviness… and you don’t want that. So to all the naysayers that might be too cool for some playfulness, I say “silly rabbit – tricks aren’t just for kids.” 😉
WHY IT’S GOOD FOR YOU
Silliness… nine times out of ten leads to laughter. Laughter stimulates your heart. And without your heart you couldn’t eat ice cream. Do it for the ice cream. 🍦😋
But in all non-seriousness, you need to let go of control in order to be silly. This freedom to be yourself is the key to happiness. When things don’t go your way, don’t be afraid to own up to a mistake and make light of the situation. Whether it’s through playful games, dad jokes, making faces for selfies, or the classic tickle fight – we could all use a little spontaneous sillliness in our day.
WHY IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
When your loved one shows their goofy side and you play along too, it can make you feel more connected. These silly moments are what makes you feel like a kid again, showing a side that you might not get to express very often. It’s important to not make them feel judged, because you’re the person they trusted with their whole self. Everyone wants to feel accepted, especially by their partner.
If you find a friend that brings the silly out of you – keep ’em. Those laugh-out-loud, dance-like-no-ones-watching moments may not happen often, but when they do… they can be the most memorable ones.
If you want to be more spontaneous and silly, would love to hear about it in the comments below! We could all use an extra scoop of silly in our day, just ask to put “adulting” on the side… if only for a moment.
3 SILLY GAMES TO PLAY ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
1. Movie/ TV Quotes
“Pivot, pivot!”… can you guess who said it? haha it was Ross from Friends. If you can’t think of any, download the Heads Up App for plenty of ideas
2. Sticky notes, random folks
Write a compliment on a sticky note and they have to stealthy place it on someone, without them knowing. You get the added benefit of making someone’s day when they find “Nice hair cut” or “you have a great smile” on their backpack.
3. Once upon an Emoji
If you’re not together, have an entire text conversation with emojis – it get’s really funny trying to make weekend plans. 🍝😝🎥🌌⭐Dinner then Star Wars movie? or if you are together you can look at your surroundings and pick an emoji to best describe a person or place around you.

Stunner! ❤️ you Btw you absolutely amazing and love the new blog.
Yesssss! 🙌🏼
I can relate to this post. Silly is a huge ingredient to have in life. If one can’t do it even as adults do they even have a soul? Poor them if they never embraced it as a kid I can’t imagine not having it as an adult.
Yes good new blog Caila So many benefits of being silly even as adults even studies show it’s good for the health and more.
Occasional Silliness as we adult is a must if not who are we? When I bring on my silly with my close family/my love/mypeeps i laugh so much and studies do prove it’s a key even as we age. Everyone should be silly and keep laughing away as much as you can w great people around.As always you are so beautiful and thanks for the info on what you are rocking and wearing Caila ✨
"silly rabbit – tricks aren’t just for kids so on point with that Caila wonderful new blog and serious you so full of light what a beautiful soul you have and so beautiful you are.
Laughter bonds us closer to ourself and to others. So everyone should at least bring out there silly when they can. You are the sweetest.
cuteness
the pics remind me of Darla from the Little Rascals you are a cutiepice Caila. Silly fun cute game I play with my husband Trace Messages. This is a sweet and cozy game for two. No winners, no losers, just good tactile fun with language1. Person one thinks of a message of several words for person two could be silly could sexy could be fun however u want to play it.
2. Person one then chooses and area of person two’s skin that person two cannot see. The upper back works well, or the forearm as long as person two doesn’t peek.
3. If the message has more than one word, decide together what ‘spacebar’ will be.
4. Letter by letter, person one writes her message on person two’s skin. Person two cannot guess until either a full word or the full message is complete.
Yes, schedule for silliness and relaxation, and encourage ones creativity because we need to understand that as adults we all work hard need to play frivolously even as adults.Bright new blog you shared Caila and ever so stunning you are.
Ditto if I can’t be silly around you then you don’t know me or I don’t trust you enough to do that. Boy when I do bring out my silly with wonderful people I laugh with the best and they bring out my best.Everyone should try and be silly who they let see that side.
No regrets on being silly ever 😝
Me too girl
it’s good to be silly even growing up and even more alive when you enjoy it to the max with people we all care about and get us like we get them. So bring the laughs with the silly it’s good for the soul.
Fantastic new post and you are darling Caila
💛
Being with someone who doesn’t just tolerate your weird habits and pet peeves but actually enjoys them as part of your uniqueness is a gift that makes every day a little more funWhen we can let go of being self-conscious and just be your fun-loving, care-free self, however silly, strange, or quirky that may be and they do the same.
