Connecting to your inner child will empower you to align with your self-worth and authenticity.
Here’s a little snippet from Glow Your Worth that will help set the stage for this topic.
“Even with this sense of vulnerability and fragility, I still lived my little years with my heart wide open. I was visceral and vibrant, easily excited by the sight of a craft table piled high with pipe cleaners and pom poms. I was completely content enjoying the simple pleasures of my life, eating chalky Fun Dip candy, watching disjointed Ren and Stimpy episodes, and cruising around on my blue banana-seat bike. I was always ready to give it all I had to make someone, anyone, smile and laugh, in an effort to share the joy that overflowed within me. It wasn’t uncommon to see me claim any flat surface as an imaginary stage to passionately perform my choreographed rendering of “It’s a beautiful life! Oh, oh, oh!” Completely unsolicited.”
I wanted to share this part of my story as a gentle reminder to us all that our sense of unconditional love, connection and unbridled excitement for life is always with us. We connect with our heart and emotions so easily and freely when we are children, and as we move through life we forget the brilliance, beauty and value of our authenticity. That source of passion and purpose is always available, we just need to go inward to feel it again. We all deserve to have the space and freedom to be who we are and do the things that we love.
Connecting with your inner child is crucial if you want to release limiting patterns and beliefs that you’ve absorbed throughout your impressionable years. When you allow yourself to acknowledge and accept the presence of that purity, passion and purpose of your inner child, you will feel that childlike wonder, imagination and excitement flow back into your heart. You’ll find that sense of freedom to connect, communicate, create and show compassion, like you did when you were little.
