Inner child

Each one of us has an “inner child” living inside.

We are magnificent and multidimensional beings very lovingly created by our Creator.

There is a portion of ourself which is vulnerable, innocent and God-like. That is the child within us or the ‘inner – child ‘

The inner child can often recall good experiences as well as childhood fears, traumas, neglect or significant loss. It can be hard to pinpoint the exact event that is tugging at us, but we can start to notice our internal patterns that have left us a subconscious when we start to explore our inner world.

Your “inner child” is a part of your subconscious that has been picking up messages way before it was able to fully process what was going on (mentally and emotionally). It holds emotions, memories and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future.

If your inner child lived with instability, uncertainty or danger, it may hold you back from making changes.

Have you ever thought about why you can’t move forward?
Have you wondered why you sabotage yourself?
Have you ever questioned why you so easily feel anxious, depressed, and self-critical?

It’s your wounded inner child.

To avoid the pain, we’ve tried to ignore that child, but s/he never goes away. Our inner child lives in our unconscious mind and influences how we make choices, respond to challenges, and live our lives.

If you feel lost, lonely, small, and afraid of losing love and acceptance, you must seek help from Inner Child Therapist where you will be benefited from healing your inner child who once felt insecure and not good enough.
Saying these things to yourself is a good start.

Heal and Nurture Your Inner Child by saying

1. I love you:
We deserve love, no matter what we have achieved during our childhood. You might experience struggle in saying that I AM LOVABLE.

Say it whenever you see yourself in the mirror. Say it in any random moments. Love is the key to healing, so give it to yourself.

2. I hear you:

Oftentimes when we feel hurt, we push down our feelings and try to act strong. For a lot of us, this stems from childhood.

Those feelings don’t just go away. They fester inside of us, affecting the choices we make as adults until we make the conscious effort to hear them. Give voice to your pains before it gets too late.

Instead of suppressing the voice of your inner child, say, “I hear you. We’ll work through it. It’s going to be okay.”

3. You didn’t deserve this:

As children, many of us assumed that we deserved to be abused, shamed, or abandoned. We told ourselves that we were a bad kid, that we did something wrong.

But that’s simply not true. In many cases, the people who wounded us simply didn’t know any other way.

A child is innocent and pure. A child does not deserve to be abused, shamed, or abandoned. It’s not the child’s fault, and though we may not have had the capacity to understand this then, now, as adults, we do.

4. I am sorry:

Especially for Overachievers slowing down is considered as thier weakness. Unable to enjoy with other kids because of thinking only about work and achieving another goal.  Self criticism occurs even if wants to take rest.

Stop and say I AM SORRY TO YOUR INNER CHILD. Taking out time for loved ones lead to improvement in each relationship.

5. I forgive you:

One of the quickest ways to destroy ourselves is to hold on to shame and regret.

There are so many situations in early life where we hold ourselves guilty and responsible and this is taking toll on our growth overall. Just forget it and forgive your inner chid.

Remember you are a human being and its OK to be imperfect.

6. Thank you

Thank your inner child for never giving up, for getting through the tough moments in life together with you with strength and perseverance.

Thank your inner child for trying to protect you, even if her way was holding on to painful memories.

Your inner child doesn’t deserve your judgment. S/he deserves your gratitude and respect.

7. You do your best:

According to your wisdom you did your best.
When we let go of perfection, the fear of failure recedes. Then we can allow ourselves to experiment and see how things unfold.

Your connection with your own inner child will bring more joy, peace, love which will enhance confidence and compassion in you.
