What would you say?
I’d say:
Working on oneself is commendable, BUT I love you just the way you are RIGHT NOW anyway!
ooo that would be one loooooong conversation..
It’s not INNER. Not at all.
Actually Rabbi Miller says that, (I think) in one of his shiurim. I forgot the Posuk he mentioned, but the gist of it is – HaShem says he loves the Yidden for their youthfulness. Their youthful approach to Ahavas HaShem, doing mitzvohs with a fiery zest…
I would say: I’m very proud of you. You are stronger than you think and smarter than you will ever know. You worked with what you had given to you and came out the other side intact and with dignity. Never lose sight of who you are and don’t allow anyone, anyone to define who you are.
Keep that great sense of humor–everyone needs to laugh.
Excelsior!!!
What is the “inner child”?
I’d say, “grow up!!”
I’d say use all your time wisely instead if doing useless things. they say , “Time is wasted on youth”
if i could just hijack this thread for a bit what would u say if u could travel back in time and speak to yourself as a child?
I would teach myself whatever I know now and give myself a head start. But actually, I’d first thank my younger self for teaching my current self whatever I know.
I would tell my inner child: “Again I catch you in the Coffee Room?!”
YaakovDovid~ “The “inner child” is the:
* Little child you were who desired to be nurtured, cared for and loved. This child still resides within you as an adult.
* Free spirit, pixie or elf you have tamed and controlled, yet who resides within you.
* Emotional and sensitive you whom you have channeled, controlled and silenced and who is still living within you.
* Creative, imaginative and artistic you who has been molded, structured and organized; who still resides in you and is needing to be set free.
* Hurt, pained, neglected, frustrated, abused and ignored you whom you have masked, hidden from view and denied the existence of. This child is always just below the surface, causing you to be anxious, worried and fearful of mistreatment.
* Fun loving, happy, frivolous, joyful, humorous you when you were young and unsophisticated; that person you have replaced with a sophisticated, mature, serious, task-oriented demeanor.
* Childhood you have lost or forgotten; yet it still resides in you, dwelling in your subconscious.
* Person who knows how to have fun and play for play’s sake; who can help you prevent burnout and manage the stress in your life.
* Person you could be as an adult if you lightened up, let go of your seriousness, overcame your fears and accepted flexibility and change in your life.
* Person within you who needs healing, support and reinforcement through a variety of Tools for Coping activities. Through this you can be given new life, health and a chance for personal growth.”
ZeesKite…lol, I think that many people should put their innner child back in.
