We sometimes yearn for the way it was when we were kids. Life seemed simple then. Most of our energy and thoughts were on the present, going to school, riding bikes, and playing with friends with the only responsibilities being doing a little homework and keeping our rooms clean.
Now everything seems more complicated, is more complicated because we are the adults dealing with many daily responsibilities, planning for the future, and balancing our lives with what seems like not enough time and not enough energy.
We remember our childhood weekends consisting of a break from school, family gatherings, and lots of free time. Now the weekends often consist of catching up with what we couldn't finish during the week and trying to find time for a day or at least a couple of hours of relaxation.
If we want to get the feel of the way it was, we need to simplify our lives, limit work time, give ourselves time to play, and set aside time to rest.
