You may have heard the old saying that adulthood is the time we use to work on healing from our childhood upsets. Whether you have grown up with wonderful parents, extended family or teachers, there is most likely something from your past that has hurt you or an embarrassment that had taken place that still to this day tugs at negative cords within you, making it hard to move forward in a positive way.  Which is why we need to work on healing our younger self.

​What is it from your past or youth that may still bother you till this day? Either someone has hurt you by words or actions or maybe it is a closure that never took place. Maybe something emotionally painful happened to you when you were young that you kept to yourself and never told a soul about it. Possibly you did try to explain it, but sadly nobody listened to you. Life is full of emotional challenges and we sometimes put a mask on to avoid the feeling or avoid showing the pain and the feeling associated it. You can however heal some of the pain from a past trauma by going through the process in your mind.
. . . AS YOUR OLDER SELF CONSOLING YOUR YOUNGER SELF!

By going through this process you can actually create a much needed healing within. As your older wiser self that you are now,​ you can go back to that time in your imagination to heal your past hurt!

LET'S IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT. . ,

If you could Imagine talking to your younger self from your older wiser self perspective - what would you say?......What would you ask your higher self?. . .What would you tell her/him?. . .
You could tell her/him that..."you know how she feels" (because you do). Tell her that..."you love her and you are there for her." . . .You can explain a possible reason of why this may have happened, or how to better grasp the apprehension from the experience.

TRY THIS. . .
Imagine your younger self telling your wiser self the whole story and imagine you comforting and listening to her/him. Feel the emotions associated with this process and let the tears flow. Let the tears help to heal your younger self. Be a compassionate ear with thoughtful words of advice that says we all go through things in life that are unfair. Let your older and wiser self rest assure how brave your younger self must have been during that time of struggle. You could also Imagine putting your arms around your younger self and giving a warm hug.

​DID YOU KNOW THAT- YOURSELF COULD BE THE ONE WHO HELPS TO HEAL YOUR YOUNGER SELF? 
​How great would it have been to have someone be there for you during that time of pain and truly listen to your whole story? How great would it have been to be able to understand it as an older wiser person?
