Little children are not supposed to make adult decisions or deal with adult issues. But that is what happens when we miss out on important developmental tasks growing up. We get stuck and don’t grow emotionally, and we remain little girls in those areas.
Are you ready to claim your power and positive self image as a grown woman? Do you want to acknowledge your Inner Little Girl at the same time? You can do both.
It’s time to integrate the best from both aspects of yourself. Here are 5 ways you can reparent your Inner Little Girl.
1. Acknowledge her existence
You have your own little girl operating in your grown up life.
If this is new territory for you, that’s ok. It can be a bit of a shocker to realize that you are operating at a little girl level in certain areas of your life.
Keep in mind that awareness is the first step. This work gets easier the more you do it.
2. Know what age she is when she operates the strongest
You need to do your work and learn where your Inner Little Girl shows up in your grown up world.
3. Know what her usual issues are
As your comfort level increases, you will easily identify the areas that trigger your emotional little girl. You will see definite patterns in your coping tools. You will be able to connect your little girl behaviors to your developmental tasks.
You will begin to have ‘aha’ moments. You will automatically know what to do with this awareness.
4. Insist that the Grown Up You will be making important decisions
Prepare for the situations that trigger your little girl behaviors. Determine for yourself how your grown woman needs to handle each. Awareness is power.
Tell yourself that you are going to walk through those situations using your full power as a woman. Your little girl is always with you, but the woman in you is the leader.
5. Give Your Inner Little Girl what she needs at the appropriate age level
All children need boundaries, and structure and leadership. They need to know that the grownups will keep them safe. All grownups need to play and have fun. It is synergy at its best.
Let her choose the friends that she likes, let her make decisions about the way she wants to express her individuality. Give her the power that is appropriate for a young girl.
When it’s time to make decisions, you need to access your experience and wisdom.
But...when it’s time to play... that’s when you want run barefoot in the sand! Namaste.
