How to reparent your inner child

These are the ways to reparent your inner child.

1. Stop self blame: How you were/are treated by your parents, friends, romantic partners, school mates & bullies is not your fault. There was never anything wrong with you. Their actions are a reflection of what is going on in their inner world. An act of hate comes from self hate, an act of judgment comes from self judgement.

Mantra: “it’s not my fault, there was nothing wrong with me, there is nothing wrong with me for being me"

2. Have self compassion: Learn to stop judging or criticizing yourself. You don’t have to beat yourself up for making mistakes or for not meeting your own standards. You’re human and our imperfections is what makes us humans. Let go of the unrealistic standards. Stop judging your emotions, stop judging your fears, ego, messiness, actions and understand you are human.

3. Sit with your emotions: How to sit with your emotions? Sitting with your emotions means acknowledging & feeling your emotions {fear, anger, sadness} without judging yourself. Understanding why you are feeling the way you are feeling & not forcing to change how you feel. Just allowing yourself to accept & be with your emotions in the moment. Even when it feels uncomfortable.

4. Begin self validation: self validation is about honoring all parts of yourself. Validate yourself, validate your beliefs, honor your actions, validate your emotions , honor your perspectives, honor your instincts, wisdom, your logic. With the knowing that you are okay exactly as you are.

5. Know and accepting your inner child: Your innerchild is that part of you that feels unloved, unworthy, she doesn’t feel heard or seen. And she speaks to you true your fears, triggers and frustration. That’s why it’s important to accept and sit with your emotions.

6. Assuring your inner child that she is loved and safe with you: You can do this my mindfully reciting this innerchild mantra.

Mantra: Dear my lovely inner child, I love you exactly as you are, I don’t need you to change because there’s nothing wrong with you, you are safe with me, I’m here for you whenever you need me and always, I’m here to love you.
