'Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.' - Osho 

What was different when we were younger? Why are kids happier than we are?
Is it because they don´t assume so much responsibility? Or is it because they have another perspective? Maybe kids are free because they know how to get lost in the here and now. 

If you have the chance to watch or be with children, you will notice the difference between yourself and them - you will recognize the authenticity, vulnerability, laughter, tears and pure joy that they indulge in. Pure emotion!

What if we tried to see the world through the eyes of a child from time to time?

There are things in life we will never be too old for

What determines an adult´s day-to-day life? Routine. What is the essence of freedom? Breaking through routine. 

In a regular life we stand up, get dressed putting on an uncomfortable uniform, drive through hours of traffic holdup to a miserably paid work, do some trouble shooting, are given some new grey hairs, eat some healthy tasteless food, go to bed, sleep and repeat. 

Et voilá, this is our everyday caricature. 

Fitting in, being correct and carrying responsibility is damn stressful. 

That´s why we need to let go from time to time, forget about our responsibility, status and all these heavy problems packed on our shoulders.

Yes, our today´s world is defined by rules, laws and guidelines. We have to give a lot but are given very few in return. Appreciation is provided to those who constantly deliver. Breaks are for the weak, leisure time for losers and fun is definitely overrated. 

To those who vehemently disagree: me, too. 

No matter how ambitious, career driven, correct and grown-up you are, we all need to unplug ourselves from time to time, travel back to infancy - and get lost in it. 

It comes from the heart. 

Kids emotionally connect with each other through play. In our adult´s life, being in the analytical mindset of our daily correctness suppresses any kind of emotional feelings. That´s why kids build up relationships much easier than we do. 

Social quality time is generated by sharing true experiences, whether if we dance, ice-skate, hike or live any other passion together. Being active, sharing laughter and tears, creating common experiences - that will become future memories - gives us a sense of heart to heart connection. 

What kids naturally embrace is being in the moment and not having any other care in the world when they are engaged. What counts is the here and now. 

Here are some ways to be a child at heart again ❤️️

1. - For the action heroes: Pillow fight 

2. For the romantics: Blowing soap bubbles 

3. For the boys: Jumping into puddles 

4. For the girls: Blowing XXL chewing gum bubbles 

5. For the diabetics: Pie fight 

6. For the adrenalin junkies: Rollercoaster ride 

7. For the nature lovers: Water gun fight 

Sometimes we have to think a little less and live a little more.
Don´t you think? :)
