Children are more confident, braver and enjoy life far more intensely than adults. Sometimes it feels like we spend our whole lives trying to get back to who we were as children. Here&#039;s what we can learn from our younger selves to bring more clarity and joy into adulthood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>1. Every day is a new beginning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIsn&#039;t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes yet?\u201d \u2013 L.M. Montgomery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wasn&#039;t it always amazing how the end of a school day always felt so final, so finished? The break between June and September seemed like a lifetime. Because when you&#039;re young, every day feels like an eternity and a new day means new opportunities to make new friends, explore new adventures, learn new things. Children do not carry luggage from one day to the next. They start fresh, always.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>2. Creative activities are fun and useful for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHappiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.\u201d \u2013 Franklin D. Roosevelt<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>How often do you see kids get lost in a creative project for hours on end? Drawing, playing with clay, building a sandcastle with attention to detail. For some reason, as we get older, we stop seeing creative activities as useful. How many adults besides artists draw regularly? How many play with clay or finger paint just for fun?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>3. Be brave.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one&#039;s courage.&quot; \u2013 Anais Nin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Sing out loud. Dance when you feel like it. A child&#039;s life feels limitless because it is not limited by fears of failure or humiliation. They move forward with hope and determination because they know it. They have not experienced failure. They embrace life and all it has to offer with open arms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"lo119\">\r\n<div class=\"sq_local_content\" style=\"position: relative; clear: both; background: white; font-size: 14px; color: #333; max-width: 500px; margin: 5px auto 5px auto; padding: 13px; border: 1px solid #DDD; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #DDD; -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ddd; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #DDD;\"><a id=\"l_2574\" class=\"sq_local\" style=\"display: block; font-weight: bold; color: #0074b7; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 5px; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"The crystal children - the sages in children&#039;s bodies\" href=\"https:\/\/flow.bg\/en\/2019\/02\/kristalnite-deca-mydrecite-v-detski-tela\/\">The crystal children - the sages in children&#039;s bodies<\/a>\r\n<div class=\"sq_local_text\" style=\"font-style: italic; color: #333;\">If until recently the whole world was excited and talking about indigo babies, today it&#039;s a different story<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>4. Laugh every day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;A day without laughter is a day wasted.&quot; - Charlie Chaplin<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Children have the wonderful ability to find joy all around them. Just observe the humor that a child can find in a shopping mall or in the park. They see fun everywhere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3307\" src=\"https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/children-817365_1920-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"607\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/children-817365_1920-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/children-817365_1920-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/children-817365_1920-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/children-817365_1920-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/children-817365_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>5. Be active.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The game energizes us and enlivens us. It lightens our burden. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.\u201d \u2013 Stuart Brown<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you were young, playing outside was the highlight of your day. You run and chase your friends until you&#039;re out of breath and your cheeks are red. You can jump and do cartwheels on the fall and never thought of it as &quot;exercise&quot; or &quot;daily fitness.&quot; Just a game. And it was fun. \u201cIt is a happy talent to know how to play.\u201d Ralph Waldo Emerson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>6. Nurture the friendship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIn the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of small things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.\u201d \u2013 Khalil Gibran<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Children find true joy in playing with friends and love to make new ones. They join various sports activities, attend birthday parties, and are open to new acquaintances. These are all ways for kids to make new friends. Children adhere to the motto &quot;the more the merrier&quot; and so do the adults.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>7. Be a hero.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAbove all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.\u201d \u2013 Nora Ephron<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When a child tells you a story about school or the soccer field, they are usually the hero of their story. The world revolves around them. As we get older, we don&#039;t want to be conceited or selfish, so we downplay our accomplishments. We don&#039;t want to brag. But in doing so, we often stray to the side of self-destruction. We put ourselves aside to make others feel better. Modesty becomes an admirable quality and we begin to convince ourselves of our own mediocrity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/milenagoleva.com\/relaksirashta-prikazka-za-deca\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5736\" src=\"https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/\u0443\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430-\u043e\u0442-\u0434\u0435\u0446\u0430\u0442\u0430-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"the lesson from the children\" width=\"648\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/\u0443\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430-\u043e\u0442-\u0434\u0435\u0446\u0430\u0442\u0430-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/\u0443\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430-\u043e\u0442-\u0434\u0435\u0446\u0430\u0442\u0430-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/\u0443\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430-\u043e\u0442-\u0434\u0435\u0446\u0430\u0442\u0430-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/\u0443\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430-\u043e\u0442-\u0434\u0435\u0446\u0430\u0442\u0430-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/flow.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/\u0443\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430-\u043e\u0442-\u0434\u0435\u0446\u0430\u0442\u0430.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/milenagoleva.com\/relaksirashta-prikazka-za-deca\/\">Relaxing story for Children<br \/><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>8. Scars are badges of honor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Every day you see either a scar or courage. Where you live will determine your struggle.&quot; - Dodinski<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When a child breaks a bone, everyone they know will sign the cast. They become the superstar of the survivor class. If they fall and cut themselves, everyone wants to see the scar, they wear it proudly. As we age, we hide our scars, our wounds become our secrets. We don&#039;t want to be seen as weak or pathetic, so we don&#039;t tell anyone where it hurts. But what children recognize is that scars are not signs of weakness, a scar is a sign of strength and survival. A story to tell. Achievement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>9. Try new things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMan cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.\u201d \u2013 Andre Gide<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Children are not afraid to play a sport they have never tried before. They will jump on a trampoline, dive in a pool or ski a mountain, even if it is foreign to them. As adults, we fear the unknown. We stay safely in our comfort zone and rarely step outside. Adventure excites us and awakens our spirit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>10. Notice the little things.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cEnjoy the little things because one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.\u201d \u2013 Robert Brault<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>My niece loves watching the sands run back and forth along the water&#039;s edge. She notices their little feet and how quickly they move across the sand. Something simple that we take for granted brings her immense joy and deep inspiration. When did we stop noticing the little miracles that surround us on a daily basis? How much more beautiful would life be if we could see these wonders again?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"lo682\">\r\n<div class=\"sq_local_content\" style=\"position: relative; clear: both;
