Childhood Memories
It’s easy to get lost in childhood memories. Sometimes all it takes is a song, a photo, a glimpse of an old television show or movie to take you back in time. Food is a great instigator of memory. Combining taste, smell, and texture it’s a triple whammy on your sense memory .
If you want to purposely revisit your childhood, consider seeking out some old time candy . You remember the candy that you loved as a kid? Whether it was a specialty chocolate bar or a simple penny (or dime, depending on your age) candy, it’s probably still available for sale out there. You can search candy stores or surf the internet to find an affordable source.
If you’re really stressed out, why not indulge yourself in a trip down memory lane. Rent a DVD of your favorite childhood movie and sit down with the aforementioned candy to push yourself back to the past. You can even follow it up with your favorite comfort food for dinner, whether that’s sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, or your mother’s infamous meatloaf recipe. After a few hours of nostalgia you’ll be refreshed and rejuvenated — though possibly on a bit of a sugar high.
