There are so many ways you can make your look or your home bring back nostalgia and make you feel more yourself. Start playing 70s music in the background while you do house cleaning. Maybe get the sun on your face and wear a halter top. Perhaps go barefoot in the grass. Drink some Tang. Take up causes that you were obsessed with when you were younger, like ecology and growing veggies. Go chase a 70s band playing at a local casino. Ride in a car with your feet on the dashboard. Cut off a pair of jeans and wear them as shorts. Revisit 70s hangouts. Talk nostalgia with old friends from long ago. Recreate a summer vacation you had as a kid.
