This podcast episode is just one installment in a small series focusing on the inner child. It explores the tension between our bold aspirations and the cautious fears harbored by our inner child, as well as strategies for overcoming it. Key Takeaways with Actions: Acknowledge Your Inner Child's Fears:Action: Pay attention to moments when you feel resistance to change or new experiences. Ask yourself, "What fear might my inner child be trying to protect me from?" Be aware of the thoughts that come to your mind. These thoughts may directly tell you what your inner child is fearing or feeling. For example, if you have a negative thought about trying a new class, it might be your inner child fearing rejection or failure.Cultivate Compassion for Your Inner Child:Action: Thank your inner child for trying to keep you safe, even if their fears are holding you back.Reassure Your Inner Child:Action: Let your inner child know you're an adult now and can handle challenges.
