How do you do inner child work?

Image may contain: text that says 'How to validate your inner child @miss.mentalo Visualize yourself holding your inner child Let your inner child know that their feelings are valid and you are listening Say things you wish your parents had told you Give your inner child the chance to feel anything withoutjudgement Tell him/her what happened wasn't their fault Ask your inner child there are any feelings they are willing to share Tell your inner child you are here for him/her and you won't leave Visualize safe space for your inner child'

How do you do inner child work? There are so many ways.

Here are some ideas for working on your own.

As I mentioned in a recent video yesterday, inner child work is one of the tools I recommend to help you relax and rest without guilt.

But did you know it will also help you to uplevel and achieve your goals to write or create for your book or business?

Seriously inner child work is the gift that keeps on giving.

Check these methods out in the image above.

Letting myself dream more than ever…

Image may contain: cloud, sky, ocean, outdoor, nature and water

I am letting myself dream more than ever, and it is not about what I need to depend on others for.

It is not about playing small and trying to be practical about what I can achieve.

It is not about pressuring myself to be more and get massive things done in a day.

And it is not about how other people will see me when I am done creating an awesome life.

It is about:
-Feeling all my feelings.
-Embracing my innocence and imagination.
-Playing with the possibilities.

And baby, it is ...

When the world seems scary

Image may contain: one or more people, people sitting, cloud, sky and outdoor

The world can seem like a scary place but I have to have hope it will get better.

All I can do is focus on my corner.

Be myself without apology.
Follow my dreams.
Improve my life.
Write.
Create.
Work with my people and write to my audience…

And take pleasure in the little changes that occur.

I believe it is powerful.

Stay hopeful peeps.

The key to make more progress this year…

Image may contain: text that says 'Get things done without overwhelming yourself with lists that never end.'

The key to make more progress this year is not to weigh yourself done with endless to do lists.

I had a client who wanted to make faster progress as a musician and she also home schooled her kids, made meals, etc.

She had so many plans and ideas.

When I started working with her, she started writing all the action steps she wanted to take that week down in her new planner.

I said, “Hey, these lists look pretty long…”But she said the action steps would be easy to do and she was so excited so I was...

It is a really good time to get lost in a book

Image may contain: text that says 'WHERE DOES IT ALL LEAD? WHAT WILL BECOME OF US? THESE WERE OUR YOUNG QUESTIONS, AND YOUNG ANSWERS WERE REVEALED. IT LEADS TO EACH OTHER. WE BECOME OURSELVES. Patti Smith'

It is a really good time to get lost in a book.

Just Kids by Patti Smith (where this quote comes from) is a classic.

So beautiful, real and tender.

It helps me tune in, not tune out.

Life has hard things, and we can survive and make art that shines anyway.

This is the drive that keeps me going.

The incredible honesty in Just Kids was a huge inspiration for my own coming-of-age-creatively memoir, “Freedom Year: How Trying to Become a Dominatrix (and Failing) Changed my Life.”

What are you reading?

Think of everything you have accomplished already. This thing you want is just the next level.

You did XYZ already, you conquered that mountain, now you are climbing the next mountain.

That is all it is: the next amazing step towards accomplishing the next goal. You aren’t coming from lack. You are coming from accomplishment!!!

These are some words I have shared with people who needed to hear it.

A clean energy is coming in

This is everything right now. I feel like clean energy coming in a wave right now.

I keep thinking about good ways to nurture myself and let go of certain patterns and expectations.

I am the kind of person who worries about helping people a lot and have been very present online for the last six months…

Actually I prefer the lifestyle of Japan where basically no one can reach me for chunks of time because it is restorative and also I like to create without distraction.

So I need t...

To a year free of perfectionism





It’s an exciting journey. I’ve arrived in Japan and I’m speaking to you from a place of peace and gentleness that has become a huge focus for me since I made this transition. A lot of things have been changing for me.





One of the biggest things that I learned last year in 2020 was around the idea of treating things like an experiment. (You may remember, I first made a post about this in October.)





I’ve kept this mindset alive in my business, my marketing, and through all of my creating, ...
