Where the growth mindset lives….
I’ve spent the last 8 weeks getting in touch with my inner child and let me tell you…. it was freeing, emotional, and eye opening as to the shit I’ve been carrying for years.
The inner critic has a name which I address and shoo away, EFT tapping away the beliefs that no longer serve me, and play that is vital for connecting and getting out of autopilot that I live in.
The inner child is the little boy or girl that lives within you and they play apart in our emotions, how we should up in the world, our relationships with others and ourselves. Let me tell you, my inner child was wounded, abandoned, and lonely. Growing up, I had to shun my inner authenticity to survive in my home.
I’ve lost myself and lost that foundation of what it is like to be child. Mind you, my childhood was taken away. Connecting was hard but became easier overtime. There were some jovial memories that kept me connected to my inner child in positive way.
The inner child sparks creativity and growth. Think of a child- they are always willing to try new things, willing to make mistakes and get back up again, play, laugh, explore, and build on what they like. I’ve realized I am far from that insight. I was stuck in this monotonous way of living such as always working my soul sucking 9–5 with no fun incorporated. As though I know what fun looks like to me, LOL.
It was process through those 8 weeks to really find that joy again. I had tears of joy streaming down my face and uplift of energy as I danced my heart away. I LOVE TO DANCE! I remember as a child joining the dance floor with all my cool moves or how I like to draw(hold the judgement), being messy, and pretending has always been fun for me.
I was riddle with judgment and that is due to conditioning. I always judged myself, hid in the shadows to avoid criticism, filled with fear, avoiding mistakes, wanted to be perfect, didn't want to show my flaws, down on myself, fed into the beliefs and stories from those around me. I had so much riding on my shoulders.
This all conditioning that molded me and it served for the amount of time it needed to serve me. I cannot keep living the same way, my soul is aching for better, for expansion, a spotlight to really bring forth what its meant to do here.
The inner child is the foundational cement to creating a powerful, fulfilling life. Once you start healing the inner child, life becomes colorful and meaningful. The inner child is here to heal you and bring you closer to your gifts and the life you are here to have.
The inner child will always a part of the healing journey and we are always on the healing path until we take our last breath. The inner child will bring you closer to your purpose. As children, they come on this planet unfiltered, let’s get back to that.
Unfiltered, unadulterated, outspoken, lovable, enough, perfect, and so much more. It’s a process to peel those onion layer but SOO WORTH IT as you found wholeness and enough within yourself. Isn't that we all are striving for, anyways?
Your highest potential is within this child. There are gifts waiting within you to unleash. Your approach to life will change and your future self will thank you as you take the steps to create a more aligned future that is authentic .
So far, I’ve started this blog because I enjoy writing, I love the food scene, so I am out and about, I’ve created website to host my copywriting services, I’ve colored and danced so much more than before, I am coloring little by little outside of the lines like I used as a child and trusting that the Universe has my back when the environment growing up did not exhibit that.
Did I mention my obsession with clothes?! AHH! I love clothes and don't remember playing dress up but pretend has always been the fun of choice for me. Also, I have a knack to paint! WOAH! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?! I always had crayons and chalk as child, guessing it stem from there.
The inner child, I can’t rave enough. It’s consistent work but so rewarding to check in and transmute energies for a greater sense of purpose and fulfilling life.
My question to you is, are you ready to meet your inner child? Are you ready to have them in the passenger seat of your life? Life will never be the same again, I assure you!
