Is 'fun' a word you have room for in your life? Most of us don't really embrace our inner child too much, but doing so could do wonders for your health. 'As adults, we feel we have to behave in a certain way and often stop ourselves from doing something silly or fun,' says life coach Anna Williamson (therelationshipplace.co.uk).
