WEEKEND LEARNING
Healing Your Inner Child Wounds

1. One of the most important steps for healing your inner child is acknowledging the pain, the wound, what happened, and how it's affecting you.

I can't stress enough how crucial this step is. Since many of us have to learn as children to distance ourselves from our emotions, it is critical to acknowledge how we feel.

This is usually the hardest step, especially for determined women. I hear this a lot from people: "I don't have time to talk about the past. I don't have time to think about who hurt me, and I don't want to write this stuff down."

Those feelings are normal, but you have to start by giving yourself permission to go through this process and stop running from what broke you in the first place.

2. Next, you have to start listening to your inner child. And usually, our inner child will talk in its own code or language, such as the emotions or bodily sensations we feel when triggered. Thus, you should pay attention to your body and your feelings.

A few things to consider are: Do you ever feel uneasy in your gut during certain occasions or circumstances?

Or does your heart begin to race and you start to sweat?

Do you find yourself feeling depressed or furious out of the blue?

These are frequently indications that your inner child is attempting to express its needs or feelings. At first, all you need to do is observe and pay attention. This is the phase of listening.

3. The third thing is you also want to start a dialogue with your inner child. Keep a journal as an excellent tool for this. I tell everyone to take themselves back to that six-year-old child who felt unheard and unseen.

This kind of inner child dialogue is about allowing yourself to write freely. Being genuine and letting the words flow is the goal.

4. You also want to develop a practice that will keep you focused in the present. And this is where meditation and mindfulness are useful. You are less likely to feel overwhelmed while you analyze some of the things you encountered in the past since these activities help you stay rooted in the here and now.

Finding your joyous inner child is something you can do as you begin to practice being more present. This part of us is happy and still experiences the childlike wonder and excitement we often lose touch with as we age. Everybody has a vibrant inner child that they long to express once more.

5 . Finally, you must reach a point where you learn to care for, nourish, and re-parent yourself. Whatever or whoever let you down when you were a child won't come to your aid as an adult. You must be accountable for your own healing as an adult, even while it is regrettable that you were harmed or did not receive everything you deserved and desired as a child.

We have to acknowledge that we can't continue to use the past as a justification for not taking care of ourselves in the here and now.

Reparenting and caring for yourself can start with scheduling time to do small things that are relaxing and bring you joy.

Who among us doesn't have childhood coloring memories? I adore coloring books for adults and other entertaining books that are unrelated to business.

• Taking a bubble bath and having fun playing in the bubbles

• Putting on some fun pajamas and eating ice cream in bed

• Walking in the rain

• Anything else enjoyable and low-maintenance

This practice can need a lot of emotional energy, so it's critical to be very intentional throughout. Thus, you must deliberately consider:

• Increasing your self-care

• Getting enough rest

• Eating well

• Moving your body

• Practicing breathing exercises

TIP OF THE DAY

Write in a gratitude journal

Gratitude grounds us, and it can also help quiet our brains. If you don't already keep a gratitude list, there's no time like the present to start. Writing down what you're grateful for in a standard gratitude journal is great, but you can also text things you're grateful for to a friend or keep a note on your phone where you write down moments of gratitude as they come to you.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

When someone helps you and they are struggling too, that’s not help. That’s love!
