Imagine there is a room. It has a chair in it and your past self (inner child) sitting on it.

Now, Initiate an inner dialogue with your inner child regularly.

Listen to their needs, fears, and desires, offering reassurance and guidance.

By addressing your inner child’s concerns, you can build a stronger sense of self-awareness and emotional resilience.

You can embark on a transformative journey toward healing and growth by acknowledging past wounds, offering love and nurturing, reconnecting with joy, and engaging in inner dialogue.
