Do you ever miss being a child? I think at some point, all of us do.
Being a kid means there are fewer problems and responsibilities, no bills to pay, and not as many things that we have to figure out by ourselves. We get to be playful, embrace our imagination, and go on mini adventures.
But should the fun end as we grow older? Of course not!
Engaging in fun and playful activities as adults will lessen your stress, ignite your creativity, and nurture your soul. It’s a form of self-care that promotes an overall sense of well-being and helps you loosen up!
Reclaim your inner child and sprinkle more magic in your life through these fun and playful self-care activities:
Have a Dance Party
Play some upbeat songs and have a silly dance-off party! You can do this alone, with your partner, with friends, or even with your kids. Let go of your inhibitions, experiment with fun moves, and dance your stress away.
Sing Your Heart Out in Karaoke
Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Katy Perry, or One Direction? Sing your fave songs from your fave artists and showcase your voice! Singing can release endorphins to help you reduce your stress levels and make you happier.
Gather Friends for a Game Night
Have a blast with your best pals at game night! It’s the perfect excuse to meet with friends and let out some of your competitive spirit. Play board games, party games, trivia games and more.
Finish an Adult Coloring Book
Want something more chill? Adult coloring books can be therapeautic and calming. It can take your attention away from whatever is bothering you and make you focus on the simple activity right in front of you.
Host a Slumber Party
Remember the fun you had at sleepovers? Pillow fights, baking cookies, blanket forts, painting each other’s nails, and all that? Well, you can still do it with your girlfriends even as adults! Serve some cheese, cold cuts, and wine instead of popcorn and soda to feel more grown up.
Elevate Your Bubble Bath
Transform your regular bubble bath into a playful and vibrant experience by injecting some colors! Get colorful bath bombs, bathtub paints (yes, that’s a thing!), and LED lights. Enjoy your colorful oasis while popping bubbles and playing with water.
Set-Up an Outdoor Movie Night
Avoid movie theater lines and enjoy the outdoors when you set up your own cinema in your background. Complete it with your fave snacks, a creative seating arrangement, and a romcom or Disney movie (we won’t judge 😉)!
Eat Ice Cream or Cake for Breakfast
One upside of being an adult is that no one can stop you from eating whatever you want for breakfast! Start your day with some ice cream or cake and boost your mood right away. Plus, you get more energy and alertness!
Plug in with Video Games
No one is ever old enough to play video games! While playing video games is usually a hobby deemed for men, us girls can play it too to escape reality for a while. You can invest in a gaming system like a PS5 or a Nintendo Switch or opt to play on your smart device.
