Listen to our podcast, where I have a revelation on how I really got into the show criminal minds or check out the blog post below.

Do you remember how simple life seemed when we were little? Saturday cartoons. Burgers and fries. Playing outside. Swing sets. Jumping in leaves. Building legos. Taking naps. Watching TGIF. Falling asleep and waking up to the smell of pancakes. I admit I was one of those that didn’t quite appreciate that time when I was in it, at least not all the time.

So why don’t we take a page from our childhood. Use our leisure time to have a little fun or simple living, again. Here’s a few things I plan to borrow from back in the day:

• Building adult legos (it’s actually quite relaxing and the instructions make it much simpler)
• JIgsaw puzzles (but not 5000 pieces please)
• Diving into a book series that allows you to escape into another world -I admit I’ve been huge into fantasy lately and it’s so much fun
• Having a tv show you watch with a significant other or friend (in person or not)
• Drawing, painting, etc
• Riding a bike down a dirt path

Maybe some of these aren’t your cup of tea, or champagne, so find yours. It’s about finding little pockets of fun and simplicity in our lives that feel so complicated and full of adulting. Not every day or evening has to involve going out to restaurants/bars (nothing wrong with that either), but it’s nice to mix things up too.

Until next time, #radiatedaily
