what did you do today for your inner child?

my pick-and-mixes arived, and I'm all ready nearly done with 2 of them.

what did I do for my inner child today... I caught the end of the lion king (just in time to see the part where simba went back to challenge scar) which, in my opinion, is one of the best parts of the film

I am also drinking pepsi cherry which is nice

oh also during channel surfing, I came across an episode of " curious george", but decided to skip it

today I:

- ate burned toast and crunched the crust

- drank orange tango and coke

- ate sweeties
-watched an episode of, " the loud house"

I am not sure if this counts but it made me feel better.
While my friend was leaving I realized my cat was sitting by me, and for some reason I said to my friend
"This is my kitty, and he's warm and furry" as I petted mr.cat.
I have meows with my cat and given him his space but I do that almost daily

that's so cute!

don't do what I do and get the cat and the dog confused- the cat goes woof and the dog goes meow

I know the correct sounds but it has amused me for ages

today I:

burned the toast and crunched the crust

watched a video of a song I used to sing as a kid

drank coke

ate sweeties

watched, " hotel for dogs"

i've found this really amusing song about food

I don't know where to start.. it's just so funny

so I'll post it

eating a hell of a lot of candy

foam bananas.. they are yummy haha

the cola will be coming out soon!.

yum!

yesterday I had chicken fingers for dinner- a classic children's meal if I do say so myself

when I was a kid, chicken fingers would be one of the main meals I would eat in the evening after school.

they tasted okay, but a bit off and it gave me a tummy ache

the thought was nice though

today I am drinking lemon juice. again, as a kid, I loved lemon juice

-drank cola

- ate sweeties

- had turkey dinosaurs for dinner

Watched cartoons....

Played with slime! Not too slimy, though. I was really pissed off, and this was soothing.

drank coke and watched a peppa pig marathon

and an episode of old jack's boat

i missed out on the burned toast today.

had toast but didn't quite burn it enough

Asked her to forgive herself for not being perfect

I wrote down and repeated "I am worthy, I am smart"... I reminded my inner child we are safe today, and I was a kid then.. I hugged myself physically today too.

Pillows too today, fluffy pillows that mr.cat likes too.

I never thought I'd say this, but barely anything these last few days

apart from eating candy and drinking coke- but I do that all the time, and it's hardly news

Is this helpful for CEN? I can't really think of any childhood things that would comfort me much...

today I watched something special with MR tumble.

the fact that that show even exists amuses me so much that it's worth the watch, even if I find the character of mr tumble just slightly annoying,.

and the cute friends song he sings (okay, not so cute), just ads to the whole atmosphere

I drank coke too

ah yes.

ate chicken fingers with fries.

with lots of salt!

I said "I love you so so much
you didnt deserve the abuse you got"

I made plans for next week- to go to build a bear and get my own build a bear (marshall from paw patrol), I'm looking forward to adding a new stuffy to my collection

also today I have been eating jelly babies and drinking dr pepper

no kids shows, but hopefully make up for that tomorrow

Daughter carved a pumpkin. Now I'm roasting the seeds.

Hi Mogwai,

I had and still struggle with inner child concept it took me some time and practice, and perhaps it isn't for everyone as we're all different.
I know some people irl that do not relate or believe in innerchild; and that's their path and way & is ok.

One thing that resonated with me was after a few sessions with a t that was a good fit, and talking about innerchild .. my t picked up that the "kiddish things" i may do and I often times put myself down for those kiddish things. The dreaded question always came up "why?".

It was more than a couple sessions but one day T asked me what did I want to say to "little me" and that was little me didn't deserve what occurred.. for me, in session i couldn't hug my innerchild, but there was a meditation I listened to a few months back that I was crying at the end because it asked for listener (me) to hug my innerchild and to interact with my innerchild and I did... I cried because of so many reasons, but it was a relief.

While for years I told present me that I didn't deserve what all occurred, and neither my siblings, but it was more of an angry me that came out.. not an adult gentle me to a child me.. and I've always been big on protecting children, however my adult self to my innerchild I had continued to be cruel to in away, continuing to put "little me " down or just down right mean.

It somewhat "clicked" for me after a while and a combination of things. Even PC and other members chatting about their innerchild ame concepts.

I had not realized that I had done things for my innerchild along the way of understanding.

For example:
Getting clay and playing with it, creating something simple and silly, hugging a doll, enjoying fluffy things. So much can be neutering an innerchild

Now days I work more of how I "talk" to my innerchild.. integration still underway.. while my dxs aren't DID or MPD , my last t did help me understand the different selves that I am aware of which related to my PTSD, or just me in general I like to think instead of a label.

While some things I do today are not what I did as a child, I still feel and believe it helps that part of me grow. And I remind myself to not talk down to myself on it , as that's continuing one of many cycles....

I am sorry everyone for breaking check in..

Today my innerchild and a innerchild of a 70 some odd year old , talked about Holloween and cool creations i shared my pictures from last night
