Taking an Active Role in Our LIfe

As we give our Inner Child opportunities to release the pent-up emotions, caused by the pain of our past, by journaling our feelings in the presence of our nurturing Inner Parent, we feel the cares of the world lifting off our shoulders. 

Finally, someone cares enough about us to truly listen, validate our feelings and resolve any problems which still exist.

As our Inner Child takes more of an active role in our life now, we find that our sensitivity to the feelings of other people is heightened. 

We can read body language, because we are more in tune with what it feels and looks like to have a burden deep inside. 

We care more about the feelings and needs of little children, and we follow Susannah Wesley’s advice and never say “No” unless we cannot possibly say “Yes.”

Whenever we over-react to some issue in our adult life, we are guaranteed that the Inner Child is at the ro

ot of this outburst. 

Dialoguing with our Inner Child will help to discover the past issue, find the similarities with the current issues, and modify the plans or activities, which threaten the security of our Inner Child. We have more patience with other people.

If you marry a spouse who is in touch with their Inner Child, or one willing to learn about and connect with their Inner Child, you will have a much closer marriage. 

If you are already married, analyze your transactions with your spouse and identify if his words are coming from his Inner Parent, Adult or Child.

Prayer:

Father God, we can never parent our self or one another with as much grace and loving kindness as You parent us. We could never exist in this life with as much joy and peace without Your presence in our life. 

You are our Daddy God, powerful defender, mighty creator, almighty one, lord and master, provider, covering, sanctifier, peace, righteousness, shepherd, ever-present help, Lord of all, most high, all-seeing, everlasting God and our portion forever and ever.

Thought for the Day:

The goal of connecting with our Inner Child is that we learn to parent each other, understand each other’s idiosyncrasies and do everything possible to meet the needs of one another’s Inner Child.
