Self-love is everything. When you love yourself and your inner child you propel your life and those around you and never ever settle for someone else’s crumbs.
This especially includes developing a relationship with your younger self. She is the wounded child inside all of us. The one who feels insecure, lacks self-worth, doesn’t have a voice, ignores her intuition, or fails to speak up for herself. That is her.
A woman who loves herself ensures she is #1. She puts herself in the wise woman driver’s seat and safety straps in her inner child in the back seat so she can drive.
She knows deep within her soul that she must take care of herself first, mentally, spiritually, and physically so she can love and care for others.
This woman is crystal clear on her deepest desires and holds true to her north star.
She is also a watcher of her brain. She realizes we have over 30,000 thoughts per day, and we get to choose what we want to believe about ourselves and all the old stories from our past.
Do the thoughts about yourself feel good? Or do you pick apart every little thing and silently punch yourself in the face?
If you struggle with this, I highly recommend this classic read, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.
What about those old stories? Are you the villain or hero? My hope is you always end up the hero. It is your choice.
The truth is we always get to rewrite the endings to old stories that cause pain. There are no thought police that will knock on your brain to tell you otherwise.

Here is a beautiful Self-Love Inner Child Personal Power Practice.
Step 1: Connect with your wise and capable adult self.
Close your eyes and connect with that wise part of you that is resourceful, resilient, capable, and strong.
Breathe this sense of yourself as a loving, mature adult presence creating a circuit of energy throughout your body and through each of your Chakra’s.
Inhale from your pelvic floor, the root chakra, up through your solar plexus, through your heart, up into your throat, and then your third eye where you hold your intuitive wisdom, and finally to your crown chakra at the very top of your head and then let it all out into the universe.
Step 2: Extend deep love from your wise adult self to the younger inner child in your body.
With a sense of unconditional love and care, turn your attention to that younger inner child that lives within you and extend to her safety and compassion from this wiser life-lived adult self.
Step 3: Graciously welcome in and mirror back the feelings and needs your younger inner child is experiencing.
From a place of deep compassion and listening, ask yourself the following questions and welcome in with love whatever the response and mirror back with love.
Questions to Ask Yourself
Beautiful soul, “What are you feeling”?
Name her response and mirror it back. For example, I can see that you are feeling unsafe.
Beautiful soul, “what are you feeling?
Again, mirror the response back to her. Do this as many times as you need to get all her feelings out.
Now ask yourself, “What do you need?”
Mirror this response back to yourself. For example, “I can see that you need to be loved”.
Do this 3 times or more.

This is big girl work. This is the work that will change the way you have a relationship with yourself and everyone else close to you.
This is the work that I love to do. My inner child ruled my life for way too many years. She showed up as insecure, not believing in herself or her worth. I am a living example of what is possible. It is my privilege to now be the lightworker and show you the way.
