I've Never Really Thought The Whole Inner Child Thing Was Very Relevant

[SPKrazy]

I was always kind of impressed with John Callahan's cartoon "Digesting the child within"

3. As fun as it is to poke fun at such things, I've found it has genuine validity.

A part of us is always from that time, and if that time wasn't what it should have been, that part still requires nurturing.

This goes to the book I'd recommended in one of your threads: You can heal your life by Hay. It might not spend a lot of time on the inner child, but it spends time on developing a loving attitude towards ones' self.

Love is our main source of nourishment. Enough of it can heal any problem. Too little of it, and you see what we get all around us. A society based upon fear and anger.

I'm somewhere between fear/anger and love, so I can say that these things work, if you work them. Develop the habits that make you happy.

Cheers SPK, I hope that all is always well with you and yours.

8. thanks Peake

anger isn't a bad thing

it is what you do with it

in fact

anger may be well a step ahead of what that inner d00d was doing before

13. As you must know, admitting that you have it is very important

and the beginning of understanding and releasing it.

Congrats.

[lost-in-nj]

17. guess i'm stupid

but


i don't know what an "inner child" is

sorry to say, it sounds like an excuse.....

lost


yeah

not in a good mood. or a good place

inner child... fuck I'm almost 50

[SPKrazy]

18. I've always kind of scoffed at it

the idea anyway

I don't think it is an excuse, I think it is a way of nurturing the child inside that never got nurtured.

I'm on the backside of 40 too.

:hug:
