Word & Thought of the Day ~ Chillax!
Posted by Dr. Mom Online in A Healthy Mindset, Outlook and Attitude, General Health and Well Being on September 26, 2009
We’ve been on the go quite a bit for the last few weeks. After work and soccer this morning, it was time to remind the kids about the importance of “Chillaxing”.
Chill out.
Relax.
It’s good for the soul!
(Yes, I normally choose ‘lofty’, inspirational, motivational or character-building words and thoughts for our daily theme. Oh well, they’ve enjoyed this one today! It has served an important purpose.)
They needed a refresher course in hanging out at home, laying low, de-stimulating, being creative, and enjoying simpler things.
Even kids can easily get caught up in burning the candle at both ends. They can also come to consciously or sub-consciously expect to always be on-the-go and stimulated by external sources… field trips, sports, play dates, activities, errands… stuff.
Not that all the stuff is inherently “bad”, it can just get to be too much. Kids need balance, too.
Chillax!
