Do something childish

Stop being immature. Behave like a grown-up.

This is something we tell ourselves a lot of times. As adults, we want everyone to take us seriously, and so we think twice before doing anything, so as to not look stupid to others. But the truth is that each of us is a child at heart. There are many simple, childish things that bring us immense joy.

Tip for today
Do something childish and smile while you do it.
