Your Inner Child
I want you to take a moment and visualize your inner child
what does he/she look like? What condition are they in? What are they wearing? What
is the expression on their face? What emotions are they displaying? Now ask it
what does it need?
I want you to visualize yourself first hugging it and
telling it “It is all going to be ok” repeatedly, as if it was your own child, while visualizing yourself actually giving it what it needs. As you give it what it needs ask
yourself if as an adult if you can gratify these needs for your inner child?
How do you feel now that you have given your inner child what it needs?
I want you to now realize whatever trauma or needs your
inner child has it is now up to you as an adult to be able to provide yourself
with these things, it is no longer the fault of our incapable parents or anyone
else. You can see their wrongs and know that you are above doing those things perpetuating
the negative cycle; you have experienced it, lived, and learned from it. We now
have to take complete and total responsibility of our adult selves and our own personal/spiritual
growth. We can no longer place the blame on our parents or the people who were
supposed to love us we must release them of this and forge our own path to
self-love. You and only you can give yourself what you need.
Your Perfect Self
Picture what you visualize as your most perfect self. What
are you doing? What is your facial expression? What emotions are you emitting? What
does seeing yourself like this make you feel?
Now get out a pen and paper and write down what exactly is
holding you back from realizing your perfect self? Fear, insecurities, judgments,
prejudices, inadequacies, worthlessness, shame, guilt? Now think of yourself 50
years from now what are you going to regret? Not realizing this perfect self
and going outside of your boundaries, trying your limitations, and experiencing
life? Don’t hold yourself back test your comfort zone, extend yourself, practice
your will to work on yourself and actually DO IT! You have the control, use it!
