Admit it you are a "kidult", a grown ass person who enjoys childish activities

Have you ever heard of the term "kidult"? It's used to describe adults who enjoy activities typically meant for kids. I heard this really interesting discussion about it on the radio today.

One of the hosts was talking about how she decided to color a map for her kid's school assignment. At first, she thought it was kind of silly, like, why is a high school kid doing coloring? But as she got into it, she found herself really enjoying it. It was relaxing and fun, a nice break from her usual routine.

Another host mentioned how he loves playing with LEGO sets. It's something that lets him relax and be creative at the same time.

Building with LEGO can be so satisfying because it's hands-on and you can see your progress as you go. Plus, it's a great way to unwind after a long day.

It made me think about how these kid activities can be so beneficial for adults. They offer a way to escape from the daily grind and tap into a simpler, more carefree mindset.

Activities like coloring, building with LEGO, playing board games, or even watching animated movies can help reduce stress and boost creativity.

In our busy lives, it's easy to forget the importance of taking time for ourselves, let our inner child come out and play, doing things that make us happy.

Embracing our inner kidult can be a wonderful way to find balance and enjoy the little things in life.

So, next time you're feeling overwhelmed, maybe try picking up a coloring book or building a LEGO set.

Buy a video game. Play for goodness sake!

You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
