Allowing Yourself To Allow: Healing Your Inner-Child
We make everything so difficult, especially when it’s about us.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. ”
So, let’s try something different, shall we?
The reason I popped this quote in here, is because we keep making our lives difficult. We predominantly view every obstacle in our life as a terrifying stop sign.We cannot bear to look at our fears, and by that, we devalue ourselves.
We beat the inner-child and take what its saying to us as nonsensical.
It’s a child, it doesn’t know right from wrong!
And then life happens again. Stuck in the same vicious cycles, which repeats itself over and over again. Sometimes it provides us with a glimmer of hope, only to look back at the child in full terror.
If only I had been different! If only I had been better!
I put this giant stop sign here to tell you to stop. Stop doing the same thing over and over again, stop blaming your inner-child.
Inner-child healing isn’t a seperate practice that needs its own techniques. It’s like shadow-work: accepting the parts of yourself that you preciously avoided.
It’s to do something different, to start NOT avoiding your pain. This is one of the main reasons people’s lives are a mess.
Go on, blame the outside world and everyone in it.
But then you’ll go to bed mulling over the same things, over and over again.
Then you’ll wake up, repeating the same unwanted behaviors.
And then you’ll experience your day, with the same exact outcomes.
Insane behavior, and everybody treats it as if it’s perfectly normal.
When did we start playing these roles?
Portraying something fake to the world because of the fear of being rejected.
Because rejection from someone else dictates your sense of worth.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Thanks for reading!
Allow yourself to feel, allow yourself to be free.
