it may work as a source of comfort, or maybe your inner Self is trying to show you that you can recapture some of the innocence of chilhood, to help balance out the turmoil of the current world.

go with it- you may find some consolation in it. or just hang out with children, have some silly fun.
hope this helps-

sometimes i have an urge to be held and squeezed like a child would. but growing up for me was wanting to be older, wanting to hang with the adults and being frustrated over the limitations of childhood.

and dear, the world has always been full of turmoil. information overload can effect your ability to feel joy.

my gf always says "you know carl, there is something of a kid in you."

its so worth it to just regress..or just, let loose!!

I love legos, I love skipping in the streets or walking backwards (not all the time admittingly), I love swinging on the swings and me and my gf go to the playground at the grade school nearby sometimes. we color things and send them to each other..she teaches me french the way a little french kid learns...haha, its an easy way to just feel relaxed.

National act like a kid day!! who is for it?

The "Inner Child" is the:

Little child you were who desired to be nurtured, cared for, and loved. This child still resides within you as an adult.

Free spirit, pixie, and elf you have tamed and controlled, yet who resides within you.

Emotional and sensitive you whom you have channeled, controlled, and silenced and who is still living within you.

Creative, imaginative, and artistic you who has been molded, structured, and organized; who still resides in you and is needing to be set free.

Hurt, pained, neglected, frustrated, abused, and ignored you whom you have masked, hidden from view, and denied the existence of. This child is always just below the surface, causing you to be anxious, worried, and fearful of mistreatment.

Fun loving, happy, frivolous, joyful, humorous you when you were young and unsophisticated; that person you have replaced with a sophisticated, mature, serious, task oriented demeanor.

Childhood you have lost or forgotten; yet it still resides in you, dwelling in your subconscious.

Person who knows how to have fun and play for play's sake; who can help you prevent burnout and manage the stress in your life.

Person you could be as an adult if you lightened up, let go of your seriousness, overcame your fears, and accepted flexibility and change in your life.
