Done? Then I'll begin.
Do you remember being a child? All those years ago without a care in the world except what you may want/need. Simpler times. As you go through childhood and into young adulthood you start to aim your life towards the destination you wish to reach (or at least this is the idea) and you think that NOTHING is going to get in your way...until it does!
I, for example, wanted to be a fighter pilot in the RAF...pesky asthma got in the way of that! My point is it was my fantastical job idea. My goal. We all have our goals in life be they career minded or family orientated and we should try not to forget what we wished to be as children.
However, we can VERY easily lose sight of what we sought as a child. We let this world of ours, the world that turns no matter what happens to us in our seemingly small lives, dictate where we go. If you think about the journey you have taken to your current position in life and you're not happy with any waspect (even if you're ridiculously happy with the rest of it) you can become a slave to stress.
So, as the title suggests I have a suggestion to help aleviate some of the stress we find ourselves in. there are a few things I like to do:
- Hit the punch bag
- destroy things...SO much fun it hurts!
- play my guitar and sing
- vent to my BLOG!
These are my adult stress releases. I'm sure we all have them. I have had another idea though. Let's revert to our child. The one Doctors refer to as 'your inner-child'. The idea is simple:
Play. Play with trians, play with cars, play with dolls for all I care! Don't look on it as a bad thing to want to simply play. Let go of the way you are expected to be and do what makes you happy! Even if it's not playing...I don't know: Paint by numbers! ESCAPE! And watch your stress drift away in your laughter.
