The past few weeks in my life have been as fickle as the English weather of late; hot/cold, rainy/dry, cloudy/sunny.
My emotions have been all over the place and, as I cast my mind back to childhood memories, I can only think of how easy it was back then!
But then it got me thinking, just because I have officially entered adulthood, it doesn’t mean I have to act like an adult ALL the time.
In fact, in my humble opinion, I think you are never too old to…
Spend all day in your pajamas and get showered at 4pm! …
Have soft toys on display at the foot of the bed…
Get excited over new stationery…
Have colourful Tupperware in cute designs…
Still get excited when you see money…
See your favourite childhood band in concert…
Make your own ice lollies in summer…
Have ambitious goals…
Or even have a good cry – when needed!…
Too often we put far too much pressure on ourselves to be professional and “grown up”.
Our expectations are too high and sometimes we just need to cut ourselves some slack.
Unleashing the inner child is not a bad thing. My dream is to, one day, have a birthday party with a Great Big Whopping bouncy castle at centre stage. No shame.
It’ll be amazing.
So, moral of the story? – Go out there, have some fun and don’t be afraid to show your true colours.
(A word of warning, although unleashing the inner child is predominantly a good thing – try to keep the tantrums at bay!)
