Remember when you were a kid and you didn’t have a care in the world? Your primary objective in life was to have fun and be happy, so why does that change as you get older? From dealing with stresses in work to problems in your personal life, can get very tough indeed. Why not step back to your childhood and take some time to have some fun to let your worries disappear, even if only for a short period.

Here are some great ways to find the fun again.
Play board games
What was your favorite board game as a kid? Operation? Monopoly? Whatever it was, dig it out and get playing. Playing board games has a surprising number of benefits for your health, including helping your memory, reducing blood pressure and reducing stress. Get your friends or family together to enjoy a night of playing classic board games and relax as you find yourself in a familiar routine.
Hop on a skateboard
Were you into skateboarding as a kid? Or maybe it’s something you’ve always wanted to try but never got round to doing? Skateboarding can be a fun hobby and a convenient way to travel - it’s not uncommon to see commuters using their skateboard to get to work! Give yourself a workout and have fun at the same time - Cruiser skateboards are sleek and easy to carry round to help you rediscover your lost youth. Get riding and blast past all of your problems and worries.
Play with puppies
It’s very difficult to be miserable around puppies, as they’re full of energy and keep you on your toes. Even if you can’t get your own puppy right now, there are plenty of shelters who are looking for volunteers to help out or opportunities to help with dog walking. Help a friend or relative to take care of their dog and you’ll soon find your stresses disappearing as you enjoy the company of some four-legged friends.
Watch cartoons
Cartoons were the perfect way to chill out when you were a kid, but when was the last time you watched a cartoon? Whether you rediscover some old classics (YouTube is great for this), or take a look at some new cartoons, you’ll soon be laughing away. Think you’ve grown up out of classic kids cartoons? Try adult-oriented cartoons like Family Guy and The Simpsons instead.
Discover a new hobby
Having hobbies benefits you in many ways, and by finding something that you love to do in your free time, you can enjoy an escape from it all while you get active or creative. From adult coloring books to joining a sports team, there are plenty of options available to you that will help you discover a fun new hobby.
When you’re going through a tough time or need a break from it all, looking for fun things to do can soon lift your spirits. Think of activities that make you laugh and smile and you’ll soon ease your stresses for a much more relaxed and happier you.
