Being a kid would be great again, wouldn\u2019t it? Imagine living a stress-free life. It seems so unreal. Almost like a goal that is completely out-of-touch.

Everything was new to us. We were constantly taking in new information, observing new colors and trying new food. The firsthand experiences were endless and exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From discovering a novel shade of blue to playing in the snow, trying something different brings out child-like excitement. Trying something new is much like seeing the world for the first time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/a-look-at-the-incredible-benefits-of-trying-new-things_b_59196b49e4b02d6199b2f129\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Studies<\/a> show that trying new things stimulates our brains. We build new dendrites (neurons) that push us to think more creatively. Simply put, trying new things makes our minds grow. And who doesn\u2019t want to make their brain bigger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Costa Rica is a perfect country to channel your inner kid. Cascade down world-class rapids or take a surf lesson in the Caribbean waters on a rafting, surfing and kayaking excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring the rich urban center of the capital San Jose is ideal for solo travelers or small groups. While it doesn\u2019t seem like something that would make a kid squeal with joy, don\u2019t doubt for a minute that it will make your jaw drop in wonder. San Jose is an easy way to get to know the Costa Rican way of life. Keep an open mind. Open your eyes. Stimulate your brain to an exhilarating experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t regret it.

Journaling allows us to exercise self-awareness in the privacy of our own writing. Through journaling, we are able to revisit our past experiences. We explore how they intertwine with our present. Are we doing the same things we did 6 months ago? A year ago? 3 years ago?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all kids are able to read and write. Not all want to read and write, even after they learn to. Children reflect on personal experiences through art, dance and stories. Think about the last kid you saw. Did they share a story about something that happened to them in elaborate detail? Did they come racing out of preschool to hand you a painting they had made- just for you? Kids understand the beauty of variety better than most people do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Journaling is various. What journaling means is up to you. It could mean writing in explicit detail, drawing out the events of the day, making a list of what you did, or writing down prayers. Reflecting on an experience in a way that is meaningful to you is key to good journaling. Bring out your inner kid and maximize your next trip by using words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introspection is one of life\u2019s greatest gifts. Take a journey back in time to discover the footsteps of Odysseus and Penelope. Travel around with researcher, teacher and storyteller Phil Cousineau. Discover the past associated with Greece. Learn something you\u2019ve never learned before. Educate yourself on cultures other than your own. Experience long conversations. Engage in group discussions as you voyage through the history of civilizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

As children, we would attend a school field trip and come home eager to tell our families about our latest adventure. Reflect on those people in our lives that make us laugh the loudest, sing like no one is watching and bring out the happiest version of ourselves. Who are they? Our best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went over to our friend\u2019s house for playdates as kids. During our teenage years we went over to our friend\u2019s house for sleepovers. We slept in our friend\u2019s dorm in college after a fun night. Some of us even lived in houses with 60 other girls during our collegiate years. This pattern goes to show that ever since we were born, we have strived to connect and bond with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your sign to escape on a <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/experiences\/wellness\/spa-vacations#\/holidays\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spa getaway with your best friends<\/a>.
