Remember childhood.

Daily duties, vanity, great responsibility, very rigid framework make a person too old. What does this mean and who are "adults"? According to many, these are people who:

  • keep their emotions under strict control;
  • do not indulge in dreams, they look at the world realistically, soberly;
  • do not believe in miracles, show themselves skeptics, cynics in relation to them;
  • in all situations, without exception, they forget about their "want" in favor of "must";
  • set family and work as the main goals, in their thoughts there is no place for poorly paid creativity, self-realization without profit;
  • always put logic higher than the heart;
  • they never take risks, do not go on adventures, adhere to the golden mean, do not go to extremes.

And everything, it would seem, is good and correct, but somehow too “grown-up”. Boring, gray, even, without prospects, growth, development.

Sometimes it is better to remember your inner child and pamper him a little. The 35-year-old lawyer wants to jump on a trampoline - please. Someone's grandmother wanted to play snowballs with her husband, make a snow angel - why not? The father of four recalled his childhood dream of becoming a star warrior, and bought a toy space pistol - so what?

The maximum that others will do is cast a couple of glances, while the work will not run away anywhere, relatives will understand, the emptiness will disappear. But the received joys, fun, positive will last for a long time.

Add small stones.

It can be assumed that the soul is a large vase. To fill it, the largest gems are put into it. The latter are family, career, friends, money, and more. However, firstly, such treasures do not lie on the road, they are difficult to find, there are many fakes. Secondly, they leave huge gaps between themselves, and the vase only looks full, remaining essentially half-empty. What to do?

Pour smaller, but also expensive pebbles into the vessel, filling the distances between the large pebbles with them. It can be:

  • playing with a pet;
  • small short-term hobbies;
  • pleasant shopping;
  • delicious food, drinks;
  • minor victories - getting a discount, winning a mobile top-up in the lottery, getting up in the morning instead of sleeping * before lunch, etc.;
  • charity;
  • watching a good movie, reading a useful book;
  • walking barefoot;
  • driving by car or train.

Little things seem insignificant, but it is from them that all life consists. By accumulating, they create something big, light, joyful. That is why it is desirable to notice and appreciate these small surprises.

Get to know yourself.

A bottomless and echoing emptiness settles in the souls of those who ignore their present self. Everyone is taught from childhood to take care of others, to yield to them, to make compromises, to help. Why don't they tell in schools that it is also important to love, understand, and know yourself? Why does no one say that a person who does not respect, does not value himself is rarely able to show good in relation to others?

What does “get to know yourself” mean? This is an opportunity to easily answer even small questions about your own tastes, interests, desires. For instance:

  • which salad "Olivier" is tastier - with meat or sausage;
  • which music is nicer - blues, latino, rap, classical or rock;
  • where is it better to go on vacation - to a quiet house on the edge of the forest or to a bustling metropolis with a lot of entertainment;

  • which female, male names seem more beautiful, and which are already outdated;
  • what is more interesting - reading a book or watching its film adaptation;
  • which scent is more aromatic - floral, citrus, woody or oriental;
  • whether the bride's dress must be white;
  • what is the ideal number of children in a middle-income family.

These are just a few rough questions to help you get to know yourself better. However, it is not enough to give an unambiguous answer to them, consisting of one or three words. It is also important to learn to understand, explain why the choice was made in favor of a particular option.
