How to Develop your Inner Child
Some moments gave me something to learn. I didn’t know why some bad moments had taught me to be a better person. It’s like the process of my maturity. I started to think like an adult. I saw something based on an adult perspective. I found many differences in my life. One of them was about how to experience life.
But on the other side, my little niece reminds me of my childhood memory. I think she always feels happy. She always makes me laugh, and she always asks me to play with her. I guess playing is her default activity. Then I ask why life is simple for her? Can I have a child life again?
It brings me to one perspective called the inner child.
An Expert said that the inner child is self-expression caused by a series of events in our childhood. It can be good or bad events. These events affect our behavior or our perspective toward life. Now, I want to focus on the good one.
As we know, that a child has a sense of fun. We need to develop it, especially in difficult times. That’s why we need it to simplify our daily problems.
Is Inner child different from childish?
Yap. The inner child is different from childish. The inner child is likely about a part of the children’s experience, while Childish is an act like children. Of course, we don’t need to act like children. We don’t need to cry when we want something from our parents. We don’t need to play marbles on the floor anymore.
We only need the fun side of children. As we know, they never get stress when life hits them down. They take it for granted.
When we develop a positive side of our inner child, we will be more fun and understand that life is simple. We will be able to fix the problem.
We can forget the hard feeling toward the problem like a child who is frightened by their friends. He probably cries, but he can forget it easily.
Then, how to develop our inner child?
We can develop our inner child by remembering some good events in our childhood. We try to adapt it to our current life. It can be living our lives with a sense of fun and excitement.
Finally, we understand that life is simple. It’s not easy to tackle the big problem. However, we can do it by developing our inner child.
