DAY 18 — Giving your inner child what she always wanted

We are so close to the end and today I want to go somewhere really tender with you 🌸

We've talked about your inner child before in this challenge. We've written to her. We've said the words she needed to hear. And today I want to take it one step further.

I want you to think about what she actually wanted. Not needed in a survival way — but wanted. The things that were maybe dismissed or laughed at or just never given space.

Maybe she wanted to dance around the living room without being told to calm down. Maybe she wanted someone to sit and draw with her for hours. Maybe she wanted to be silly, or loud, or completely absorbed in something magical without being rushed along.

What was it for you? What did little you love doing before the world told her to grow up?

Because here's what I've learned. When we reconnect with what our inner child loved — genuinely loved, not what was approved of — we find pieces of ourselves we buried a long time ago. And those pieces? They are not childish. They are alive. They are you at your most unguarded and real.

Today's practice is simple. Do one thing today that your younger self would have loved. It doesn't have to be big. Put on a song she loved and dance in the kitchen. Buy yourself the snack she always wanted. Watch something silly. Draw something with no purpose. Just play.

And while you do it — tell her: this is for you. I didn't forget you. I'm here.

Today's affirmation: I honour my inner child by letting her play 💛

Today's journal prompt:

What did your younger self love doing before the world told her to grow up?

What happened to that part of you?

And what would it feel like to let her out again, even just for five minutes today?

Come share below what you did for her today — I have a feeling this one is going to be beautiful 🌿
