Step 1:   

In order to identify your "Inner Child,'' get into a relaxed state and close your eyes. Spend thirty minutes picturing yourself as a child between three and eight years of age. See yourself as this little child and watch yourself interacting with members of your family of origin. Look at how you as react to your family members as a little child.

Watch yourself with your playmates in the neighborhood or at school. Notice how you get along with your friends and playmates. Notice the fun you have at play and what type of play activities you enjoyed.

Watch yourself in the classroom and notice how you get along with your teacher and how you react to the school environment.

Finally, picture yourself in a family setting. Are you happy, frivolous, joyful, energetic, excited, and enjoying life? Are you serious, solemn, down, sad, unhappy, scared, disappointed, being miserable with life?

If you see only an unhappy, serious little child, try to remember your last happy experience as a child. This last remembrance of you as a happy child is the "Inner Child'' who climbed inside of you to cope with stress.

Step 2:   

Now that you have identified your "Inner Child,'' answer the following questions either aloud, in your head or in a diary or journal:


a. How would you describe your "Inner Child?''

b. When did your "Inner Child'' go inside? What happened for your little child to climb inside of you?

c. How do you know when your "Inner Child'' is active in you?

d. What messages does your "Inner Child'' still need to hear?

e. How willing are you to give these messages to your "Inner Child?'' One way to do this is to develop self-affirmation statements that will nurture your "Inner Child'' and lead to self-healing.

f. What irrational beliefs did your "Inner Child'' have about life?

g. How willing are you to deal with these irrational beliefs and replace them with realistic truths? It is important to deal with these now so your "Inner Child'' can come out and finally enjoy life.

h. What are some of the negative consequences of suppressing your "Inner Child?''

i. How open are you to enjoying the little things in life?

j. What part does fun play in your life?

k.  Can you make more time for fun now in your life that you didn't have as a child?
