Unleash Your Inner Child

Keep it blossomed

“I’m too old for this.” “I enjoyed it when I was a child.” “ If I were a child I would have loved it.”

How many times have we said it ourselves or heard it from others ? Well, that’s not important, but what is ….is how we see and think about ourselves everyday. What we feel on the inside triggers a thought process which delivers an output that might be generated to either please others or to feel a part of the herd. Elaborating it more, most of us say the words I mentioned above to portray our maturity age wise to feel a part of our social or family circle, our herd. We don’t want anyone to think we still have an inner child that wants all of it, maybe scared of being made fun of. On the contrary, some of us might have really grown out of childhood fun and that’s acceptable as long as its not suppressing the real person inside of us.

I’ve always been a child at heart and that’s always vivified me and made me feel grounded. When my son was born, I moulded my thoughts into convincing myself as a grown mature woman with big responsibilities ahead as a mother and so I put the inner child in me to sleep for few months. We had planned to celebrate all his First festivals with family and friends around us. While planning and putting in action all efforts for those wonderful grand Firsts for our Son, I realized my inner child governed my actions to certain extent. For instance, on Diwali and Christmas I decorated home with lots and lots of festive lights and we dimmed the room lamps to enjoy the scene. We do this every year since and our son loves it. Also, as our son grew, playing with him just like a child, made me realize that maturing as a person in every phase of life is a natural phenomenon for human beings and we adapt to it naturally .Giving up or suppressing our inner child by wearing “maturity “disguise to feel accepted in our herd is a gibberish act and my advice is …don’t do it. It links you to your childhood in a very special way and that special part of your inner child should always stay awake and alive.

Cherish and nurture the inner child in you, it makes you complete as a person and glistens your personality. I know mine does & has always been a big reason for my vivacity.
