Time to be a child again...

That’s what I chime every weekend after my salsa class. The happiest moment of the week when the twirls and turns and cross body steps energize me and fill my heart with satisfaction. Yes I did something different from every day routine and yes I feel happy.

Specially, for the employed junta everywhere around the world, 5-6 days of the week to office and back envelop their lives and suddenly there is no time for oneself. Hence it becomes necessary to find a way out to release tension and give in to the activities you enjoy. Go dance, practice music or play squash. Release that extra tension and attain a sense of relief and happiness at the end of the session. Monday mornings would be less dreaded and you will be back at work with a vengeance.

Not only personal but also your professional life will improve with this simple step. You will feel happy and a similar feeling will be reciprocated from colleagues around you. Remember the lady in the office who is adored by almost every one? What does she do? Spread mirth and happiness? What’s stopping you? Go ahead and smile with that inner happier self. Those who find it difficult to start a topic or socialize with people will definitely get a new topic of discussion. Talk about the weekend and you would be surprised to see how differently people look at you. Common comments would be “hey I didn’t know you were such a multitalented person?”, or “Hey I want to join swimming too, can you pls tell me the address to the place? May be we can go there together?” Bingo you have a companion!

It’s easy to sit and think you have nothing to do in your life. Or you don’t have the time. The question is how inclined are you to go fetch time for yourself? Many of us want to go back to the school days when we waited for summer vacations to begin. Playing the chase game with cousins, eating juicy mangoes stolen from the neighbour’s orchard, or simply cuddling together listening to granny’s stories. Now we don’t have the luxury of it all, but starting all over again with your hobby will not only bring back the good times but will transcend you to the childhood days, when you learnt and faltered, were scolded and loved.

Believe me its fun being a child again!
