what did you do today for your inner child?

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
