Take a second and think back to a simpler time when life
wasn’t so hectic and responsibilities consisted of cleaning your room and
taking out the trash. Yes, I am referring to your childhood. Do you remember
things you used to do when you were a child that were interesting to you or something
that was fun? Do you remember the feeling that came along with this? Lately as
life continues to throw me many curves balls I find myself thinking about those
days and wishing I could get that feeling of simplicity back. As my stress
levels seem to rise I find myself struggling and searching for ways to cope. In
the midst of the searching I found myself in the middle of a conversation with
one of my nieces about the “good ol’ days” and the things we used to do for
fun. The subject of bowling came up. I found out that my niece had never been
bowling. Well, this was just not right! I couldn’t deprive her of the
experience so we planned a trip to go bowling. Now, let me first say this…I
haven’t been bowling in a very long time so needless to say I knew there was
going to be some pain involved in this trip but I didn’t care. We had a blast
and I was reminded that sometimes I need
to take a “time out” from the stresses of life for just a couple of hours on a
Saturday and do something that makes me feel happy and carefree.
Here is my challenge to you! Sometime during the next week
make time to do something fun that you haven’t done since you were a kid. Take
a break from the stresses of life and remind yourself that it isn’t all about
work and responsibilities! Allow yourself a break! I promise…it is ok!
Until next time…just keep breathing…
