I love my inner child
and I take care of it
and I happily keep it safe
at the center of my being.

WE HAVE ACCEPTED almost all of our programming
before the age of three.  The experiences we had in
followed were shaped and took shape from what
we accepted and believed then about ourselves and life.
The way we were treated when we were very little
usually corresponds to how we treat each other now.
In each of us there is a three year old child and we dedicate
too much time criticizing and scolding him.  And then we ask ourselves why
our life doesn't work.  You remember how you felt when you were little
When were you belittled?  Now that child in you does
feels the same way.
We can't push away a part of us and live in
harmony.  A stage of healing consists in welcoming each
part of us, so we can be whole and complete.  Accept us and
supporting us is the basis for making positive changes in every
sphere of life.
You begin to love yourself when you no longer criticize yourself,
for no reason.
When you judge yourself, you fall into the behavioral pattern that
you try to change.  If instead you try to understand each other and be kind
with you, you can overcome the pattern.  Remember: for years you have expressed
criticism and judgment on you and it didn't work.  Try to accept yourself
and be happy with yourself and see what happens.
You have to be kind to yourself.  Start loving and accepting yourself
Now.  It's what that inner child needs for
express yourself to the fullest.  It's time to learn to welcome this
part of you that has been far too neglected.
