Fun Holidays - Be a Kid Again Day

An unusual holiday is celebrated on July 8th - “Be a Child Again” Day, when adults behave like children Although it has not yet gained popularity in our country, it is actively celebrated in many other parts of the world From a psychological point of view, this is a great opportunity to get emotional release and “reboot” in order to rush back into the maelstrom of adult life with renewed vigor The older a person becomes, the brighter his childhood shines in his memory The bad is erased and only positive emotions remain, which are sometimes worth returning to If you scratch carefully, then under the veneer of “adulthood” in each of us (even the most serious ones) you can find that mischievous, carefree and naive child who understood the language of animals, dreamed of conquering this world in the future and believed that life is filled with miracles In moments of weakness, you want to shift your problems onto others and just relax Childhood is the only period in life when a person can afford such luxury, which is why it seems so attractive Time is fleeting It would seem that just yesterday you were leading a carefree life, going to school, playing with friends, and today the overwhelming burden of the worries of adult life weighs on you with all its weight This explains a person’s nostalgia for childhood A small child does not need to make serious decisions, stay late at work, constantly worry about his financial situation, pay off loans, deal with everyday problems and take care of other people himself This is all part of adulthood And in childhood, a child has parents, on whose shoulders all the responsibility falls If you go back in time, you will notice how each of us changes not only our priorities, but also our attitude towards the same things Many people hated sleeping during the day, and now adults would pay dearly for such an opportunity Didn't want to study? Today, school lessons seem like a pleasant pastime when compared with work, which for many adults becomes real bondage A child’s attitude to the world is also completely different He perceives everything brighter and much more sharply He is surprised by simple things, he believes in miracles It seems that the older we get, the more the surrounding reality dims, but in fact nothing changes around us, we ourselves and our attitude towards life change A child lives in each of us There is a popular theory of personality structure developed by the famous American psychiatrist Eric Berne According to his work, in every person there really is a child, a parent and an adult - three selves All that remains is to get the baby from the depths of the soul to the surface, although he himself sometimes persistently knocks from there How often have you wanted to do something like a child? Jump along a crowded street, get your favorite games, play a silly prank on someone, overeat on candy, spend the whole evening doing puzzles or coloring, organize a cartoon marathon at home, play shooting games with friends - everyone has their own ways to return to childhood And let no one be stopped by the caustic remarks of others about the fact that someone has fallen into childhood A child is an important part of your personality, which sometimes needs to be given freedom while the adult in you rests and gains strength
