One of my life's goals is to get through The BBC Big Read (which unfortunately means I'm going to have to read the Lord of the Rings books *sigh*). I'm about half-way through, and have admittedly spent most of the time re-reading some of my favorite books from my childhood instead of new titles. It's been great to revisit my childhood through these books. I remember sitting on my veranda engrossed in To Kill A Mockingbird. Alice in Wonderland was my prize for getting 1st place in 1st grade...I even got so caught up in my childhood visit, that I went out and bought a tin of Royal Dansk cookies. LOL.
The Idea: Revisit your childhood. Whether it's through books, movies, music or an activity you used to do, go back and spend some time in that age of innocence.
The Cost: Free, or the cost of the activity.
The Benefit: Sometimes you have to go back in order to move forward. Besides, the things that you used to enjoy when you were a kid can only be even more enjoyable now that you're able to appreciate them.
