Remember when you weren't stressed? When the only things that mattered were cartoons and whether or not you could find a way to get out of school? Do you remember not having to pay bills? The times when you were just plain, carefree? That was when you were a kid?
Let's find solace this week through resurrecting our inner child if only for one day or an hour! I charge you to:
- watch your favorite cartoon
- read a Dr. Seuss book
- ask your mom to make your favorite meal
- grab a happy meal from McDonald's & play with the toy
- browse Toys 'R' Us-where every kid can be a kid
- gather some friends and play tag
- buy some finger paint and create until your heart is content
- break out that 64 pack of crayola with a good old coloring book
- play red light-green light
- build a fort or camp out in the living room
- skip instead of walk
- don't tie your shoes---wait that's a hazard but you get the point
- sing a nursery rhyme---remember those
- find pictures of yourself as a kid and make a collage
- drink a juice box
- have ice cream for dinner and cereal for dessert
- go play in dirt and track mud in the house....-wait don't do that you'll have to clean up afterwards (lol)
- journal about a time where you were the happiest as a kid or when you realized you weren't a kid anymore
- have fun!
Break away from all of the things that surround you and just be! For once in your life just be.....that's what kids do!
