Tips for

Success

Feel like your life is just flying by, controlled by exams, homework, and to-do lists? Have you gotten so busy that you’ve forgotten to find the joy in life? Here are some tips for reconnecting with your inner child:

• Create – make something new, perhaps with paint, play dough, or mud• Nap – the world will still be here waiting for you when you wake up• Play – a game or sport with friends, play with a pet – there’s no one to

tell you when to stop playing!• Take up childhood hobbies – dig out those old pogs or action figures,

perhaps play some Nintendo or light bright• Dream – about something fun you’d like to do, what it would be like to

be Batman or fly a kite on the beach (which you could actually do :) )…let your imagination take you for a ride
