Be a Kid Again Day

July 8th is Be a Kid Again Day. Give up your excessive seriousness and start acting childishly. With this, you can more effectively cope with everyday stress, relax, and enjoy every day more.

History

Society requires people to behave seriously with the complete rejection of everything that is considered childish. At the same time, psychologists say it is the enthusiastic and childish attitude to life that is the key to eternal happiness. On this day, any adult has the right to break the everyday rules and pamper their inner child.

A 2009 study analyzed the impact of mental youth and its association with common illnesses. It was attended by 100,000 women, and, as the results showed, optimistic participants are 30% less likely to die due to heart disease than pessimistic ones. In 2014, the study of positive psychology continued, and the results were published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, which reported that maintaining a good mood reduces depression and anxiety.
