“I want to be a child again. I do not want any dull moment in my life. Let everything and every activity amuse me”.
This is what everyone would want in life. But the realities of life, stress and strain,monotonous routine and materialistic attitude reduce the charm of all the work, activities and beautiful surroundings to total not.
Meditation to control mind and get entertained by the moment one live in is an art which can be attained by practising some enjoyable moments to bring back the child in you whoappreciates and enjoys everything .The growing age has exhibited a drift pattern of ourlives towards less interest in activities one is involved in; less happiness in work and play; less happiness in what you have and more involvement in other glittering but less happiness inducing materialistic possessions which in reality takes one away from the child in you.
The children might be children but they are ahead of elders in enjoying the life to the fullest. Amidst this materialistic chaos in ever multiplying desires the child in one can bring one back more happiness, contentment and meaning to the beautiful life offered to us by the almighty by liking and enjoying every moment of life. The child adds amusement colours to every single doings with innocent likings.
Adding colour to colourless elderly activities is one such option. For example as suggested in one of our columns on meditation through music and further to it casual singing is one
of the activities which need to be used and practised to begin with to bring back the child lost in you. No matter how one is good at singing one should allow playing around with the lyrics words in form of singing to amuse oneself and be a singing child for some time. It makes one forget the stresses of life and make one feel cheerful at that particular moment. If one can pick up an instrument to ride on over her/his voice it is better as it adds colour to lazy and dull moments.
One can experience changes in mood, contentment, rate of satisfaction in life towards betterment with few known good songs. Make it a habit to sing a song and add on to the music and colour to your life. Slowly one can get a feel of relieving stress and wanting this type of spells more and more to give you a childish kick. The surroundings would start to seem amusing and one can start liking her/his friends /spouses more and more.
The romantic songs can bring one some more interest in ones spouse/casual fling ; the other form of songs can make one appreciate beauty with healthy and fun indulgence in meeting ones friends and relatives.
Play some tunes on preferred musical instrument to be more closer to the thrill of becoming a child musician on a way to music adulthood and then be a matured professional musician who can kindle the passion from any dull string of instruments. Be a child of music and singing to revive the playful attitude. Step out as a family on a windy day for the cool breeze to touch one’s warm hearts and let the thrill tinkle ones lazy happiness yielding cells to get activated and blossom to give childish thrills and happiness.
Wet yourself in the rain to feel the orgasm of happiness gushing out to give you an extra pleasure. Muddle in the stagnated water and let the detergent child in you clean the dirt of monotonous and unwanted scary and dry spells of your lives.
Feel the swings and moods of life by swinging under the shady tree or children garden near you and feel the enjoying power of child in you, who have nothing else but all golden moments every time in her/his life. Be the child to swing your moods to high and excited state from the dull lows.

Get your child at heart to laugh out at everything you like and ignore something unpleasant nearby.

A child is one who does not have a dull moment in her/his life as there is not attachment other than seeking pleasure from all activities and moments anytime of the day. A child exploits maximum out of barest minimum offered to her/him.
Be the child who creates something out of nothing. Similarly follow the same zeal and enthusiasm by being an experienced child and a romantic adult and explore the opponent gender with a childish inquisitiveness and learn to play with the beautiful and amusing visible body parts. Every body part can be amusement and pleasure seeking for the adult child in you. Start enjoying the childish experiences in loving encounters to rejuvenate your love lives.

Growing age the happiness and contentment from the growing child and piles it in poorest form of ugly mould of aged boredom, dissatisfaction and unhappiness in return. The innocence of child attachment to get amused by everything gets kicked aside by not required and unnecessary irrational apprehensions, fears and materialistic strings which in fact are not there in fun seeking brighter display of child’s play. Allow child in you to take over your old age by spending time with grand children in childish plays and activities and say goodbye to old age worries.
Gain the child in you to paint the life the way one wants to paint, enjoy and play around with. Give the child in you a chance to kill over age boredom and contentment in one self.
Be the child who plays happily with each and every moment of his life to derive maximum happiness for her/him.
