My Sunday mornings are always filled with fun options. I can choose between building a house for a dinosaur, fixing an 8 course, yes, an 8-course meal, where dessert is the first course, or playing a very high stakes game of “the floor is lava.” I am the Nursery Attendant for a church in Virginia. And for the past 16 years every Sunday, I get to go back in time and relive some of my childhood. Some of the toys are the same ones I use to play with as a child!
Let’s be honest, adulting can be hard sometimes! Every day is filled with mundane adult responsibilities. Work, paying bills, trips to the grocery, and ugh, laundry! Never-ending...laundry! Playing pretend and singing silly songs is sometimes just what is needed to break that endless cycle. And being around kids will always bring out that inner child that still lives within all of us.
Now, I am not suggesting you must become a Nursery Attendant. However, being intentional about finding ways to feed your creative mind and nurture your inner child are great ways of practicingself-care. Adult coloring books, game nights, and watching some of my favorite cartoons from my childhood are ways that I relax.
What are some of your favorite childhood games? Or cartoon shows? Plan a game night or a Lego imagination party. And don’t worry the laundry can wait!
