what did you do today for your inner child?

Breaking Dawn · Jan 19, 2023 at 10:41 AM

My inner child loves coffee,

& I gave her some this morning, & now she wants some more, & I am going to let her have some more. Coffee is really nice. Aren't you, Coffee.

Yes, you are.

I watch some movies

and

I validate my feelings I had to my inner child

FloatThruThis · Feb 25, 2023 at 06:09 PM

I made a snow cat in the front yard. The snow is the perfect consistency to build with. My family member took a picture of it.

Buffy01 · Feb 26, 2023 at 09:53 AM

I began validating myself :sadhug whenever someone said something

that is meant to hurt my feelings :hug. That was something

no one ever

did for me growing up

DebbieBennett · Feb 28, 2023 at 01:24 PM

For my inner child, I did the following:
I cooked sushi, watched a movie I had been wanting to watch for a long time.
I even managed to distract myself from my problems a bit and enjoy the sushi)

I didn’t get that either.

My parents are long gone now so don’t know how much harm was done to me by that but they’d deny it anyway. Even as an adult I crave validation.

I’ve been hugging my teddy bear when I wake up in the morning and before bed at night.

Buffy01 · Apr 05, 2023 at 11:24 AM

the mistake and bad treatment :sadhug my inner child received

AliceKate · Apr 07, 2023 at 02:11 AM

Buffy01 · Apr 07, 2023 at 10:48 AM

I been taking

responsibility :hug for all the mistakes I

have made

I came on here. I also wondered why people have to try and tell other ppl what they should accept and expect of life. If it weren't for the people who believed we deserved better - where would we be? Sorry,not necessarily inner child stuff, but ppl have this 'this is the way it is' mentality, built off their own limited narcissistic vision. Maybe the inner child is hopeful and sees what the adult can't.

That is SO TRUE.

I hate the word "should" and a lot of people tell me I "should" or "shouldn't" this and that. The word has a negative connotation for sure. A former friend used to say stuff like "You just have to think_______" or "You have to see it this way." No, I don't. And who the eff is she anyway??!!!

Children are more perceptive than adults and I agree they see things that adults don't.

I complimented myself on positively reframing a couple of situations happening to me right now, that are beyond my control. I decided not to let "worry" rob me of feeling happy in general.

AliceKate · Apr 08, 2023 at 04:17 AM

I bought and wore sticker-earrings.

Apr 11, 2023 at 06:21 AM

spoke in what I thought was quite a funny voice

it must have been funny, because I couldn't get through many sentences without laughing

Buffy01 · Apr 12, 2023 at 02:59 PM

I wrote a

letter to my :grouphug inner child

FloatThruThis · Apr 15, 2023 at 08:51 AM

I entered a giveaway for a free coloring book.

Buffy01 · Apr 17, 2023 at 06:20 PM
