Reflection:
The Child reminds us that we were all children, once upon a time.
Perhaps your inner child is asking you to let go of something, to release something from your past (an idea, belief or wound) which no longer serves and which you have outgrown.
And if you currently feel “stuck” or “blocked” maybe the Child is letting you know that it’s okay to reach out and ask for help.
Notice how the Child is facing away from you, oriented toward the future. The simple fact of the matter is that you cannot move forward if you are continually focused or rooted in the past. To put it another way, something new cannot come to “birth” if you remain stuck in old, outdated ways of thinking, feeling, believing or responding.
Children have a remarkable ability to remain “open” and tuned into the present moment.
And that’s just what the Child has come to remind you of today. Perhaps you’re on the brink of a new beginning or phase of your life which is about to get underway. Or you’re being given an opportunity for a fresh start. Or you’re faced with a situation or issue that requires a simpler approach to untangle.
Whatever the case may be, take a “time out” to unwind, relax, unplug or daydream. Give yourself permission to get in touch with your inner child and “play.”
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
~ Fred Rogers
