I went to a wetland conservation area last week and hidden away upstairs in one of the buildings were some fairground sideshow type games aimed at the kids, but as there were no kids in the room I had a whale of a time shooting water at targets, shooting balls out of air powered shooters into mouth shaped things and playing in a mini water system complete with lochs and dams. I have not felt so good in ages, really enjoyed it, must go again. usually my inner child is happy snuggling with my stuffy snowman at night, but the wetlands took her to a new level altogether!

Long hot soaks in the tub ...

Preferably in lavender scented bath salts!

Or a nice little stroll at the botanical gardens ...

Enjoying nature & the great outdoors.

Thanks for this!

I think I cuddle in my blankets with my pillow. This feels like an appropriate answer because I feel in a "child like state" when I do that - and my pillow, and the covers wrapped tightly around me, comforts me.

Beyond that, on a non psychological level, I can be quite child like anyway - i'm usually the "babysitter" among my friends kids lol.

I play my games and watch cartoons. I never outgrew cartoons and I love watching them and having them make me laugh.
