How embracing our inner-child in the workplace<br />
can help us rediscover our passion<br />

What would you<br />
give to turn back<br />
the clock, and live<br />
a day as your fiveyear-old<br />
self? For many of us,<br />
the life of a child looks not just<br />
fun but easy, especially when<br />
compared with the pressures<br />
of adulthood. Instead of dealing<br />
with bills, appointments, and<br />
endless meetings, playing in the<br />
sandbox and taking naps seems<br />
like a far better deal.<br />
The funny thing is, you connect<br />
with your inner child more often<br />
than you think. Have you ever<br />
played a harmless prank, or<br />
doodled to pass the time? As<br />
humans, we need an element<br />
of play in our lives to manage<br />
stress and release endorphins,<br />
and once you allow yourself to<br />
act like a kid again, you’ll want<br />
to do it more often.<br />
