Self-care

Taking charge of our inner child

No matter how old we are, the child we were and who continues to live inside us will appear at times..

Sometimes to help us enjoy, have fun and play in a world of responsibilities that can become boring and gray at times.

Others will connect us with that most vulnerable part of ourselves., with our most primal fears, with our memories and perhaps with what we missed.

That which sometimes comes back can do so with such force that it makes us forget who we are now., of all the resources that we have been acquiring and how now, From our autonomy we have the reins to be able to choose what is good for us and stay away from what harms us..

I loved seeing this illustration yesterday that reminds me how important it was for me to take charge of that inner child, explain to him that I was now in control of the situation, that she was calm that I, the adult, I took care of her.
