Chooseday 12th August, Choose to Embrace Your Inner Child 🌟

Good Morning,

It’s ChooseDay—and today, we choose our inner child.

Think back to when you were little.

When your days were filled with questions like “Why is the sky blue?”, when you built imaginary worlds from couch cushions, when laughter came easily and often.

Somewhere between school runs, deadlines, and grocery lists, that carefree part of us can get buried.

But here’s the thing—your inner child is still there. And on this International Youth Day, we’re inviting them out to play.

Take 5 minutes today to:

🎈 Skip down the office hallway

🎨 Doodle without rules

🎵 Sing along (loudly) to your favourite childhood song

⚽ Kick a ball in the backyard

🍦 Treat yourself to an ice cream before dinner

Moments of joy aren’t frivolous—they’re fuel.

They recharge us in ways no coffee ever could, filling our tanks with energy, imagination, and a sense of wonder. They remind us what it feels like to see the world through fresh eyes—to greet each day with curiosity, optimism, and kindness.

When we make space for play and lightness in our own lives, we’re not just enriching ourselves—we’re modelling something powerful.

We’re showing the next generation that joy is worth protecting, that laughter has value, and that hope can be an everyday choice. And when young people see that in action, they’re more likely to carry it forward into their own lives, spreading that spark far beyond what we can see.

This International Youth Day, you can take that spark of playfulness and turn it into real-world impact by volunteering with organisations that support and empower young people.
