Hola, P-assengers! Back with another article with us, PIDAS81! How was your day? We wished you all a mighty well time! Talking about our day, have you ever thought about how sometimes, not every day will be ended in a good way? Some things affected our activities, and it might have a bad ending. Those things include the way we make decisions.
As human beings, we will always try to take the best decisions. The best person who knows best for our needs is ourself. Several things affected the way we make decisions, the way we act, the way we think, etc. One of them is your Inner-child.
What is an Inner-child? you may ask. Well, some American public speaker named John Bradshaw said the Inner-child is a part of us that got repressed. You have an Inner-child. We have an Inner-child. Every people do. It holds emotions, memories, and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future. It can recall good memories as well as childhood traumas, fear, and anxieties. The wound from our childhood trauma stays while we grew up and transformed into something called Inner-child.
Although it’s born from hidden wounds, the Inner-child can directly influence a person’s thinking and behavior patterns. As we grew up, the wound stays, and it could bring some small effect on our future life. Even when we’re focusing on careers and stuff.
We need to make peace with our Inner-child. That is one of many ways to start loving yourself. In case you need it, here’s some way to embrace your Inner-child :
1. Acknowledge your Inner-child.
You need to accept the fact that a part of you is hurting by the past. It’ll be a lot easier if you’re starting to love you inner-child.
2. Let the emotions of your Inner-child give flow.
If it makes you feel sad, then you should cry. If it makes you feel angry, then you should let it be. Some people prefer to hide those emotions, without knowing it wouldn’t help their Inner-child to be better.
3. Talk to your Inner-child.
Once you’ve learned how to accept your Inner-child, then you should start to talk with it. Imagine your younger self is there and starts to have a conversation. What do they want to tell you? What do they need?
4. Give them what they need.
Giving your Inner-child love, attention, and care it needed but never received in childhood is a big step to heal your Inner-child. You can do what you never got to do when you were little. Small things such as drawing on paper, buying cute jewelry, and going on a picnic.
5. Give them a safe space.
Your Inner-child should know that they were loved, welcomed, and cared for. Let it feel safe to show up. By doing this, you’ve already healed both you and your Inner-child.
Working through the pain Inner-child creates is not easy. If you’re experiencing this, P-assengers, we wanted you to know that you’re loved. Take your time to heal your Inner-child. Because it is worth being able to make peace with it.
