Heels dug in, arms crossed with a sense of determination, our inner child takes overall ability to maintain with logic or grace, with every triggered scenario. Perhaps, this is where our greatest reactions come from. The tiny voice overlooked, unheard, or unseen, festering with growing frustration or intention to be made aware of.
As adults, we tend to play less and hold this idea or expectation we are meant to maintain a sense of “control,” within all environments. Unintentionally we shut down opportunities for our inner-child to process or let things go of areas no longer serving. Control merely means shutting down that which wants to be heard, seen, or acknowledged.
Children play without regard to what others think, they speak freely and innocently and express emotions as they surface. As they get older this shifts due to conditioning and being told their actions or words are not appropriate. This is a bit of a generalization in hopes to paint the clear picture of innocence in how children behave as fruitful and a place we adults should participate more often, without judgment, rather liberation.
Let your inner-child lead the way, perhaps this expression will set you free.
