This will definitely be a challenge for some… we don’t want to look like fools, rolling around on the ground, flailing. Or even trying to do the splits in the air like the girl in the photo above.

To make ourselves feel like kids can be tough.

Start small: go swinging. No, I don’t mean THAT kind of swinging [5-year-olds don’t know the OTHER meaning! ;)] – I mean go find a swing on a playground and just swing.

And by the way, the act of swinging back and forth has been known to calm your mind and help with anxiety.
