What Does Your Inner Child Need Right Now?

Muse, is there a 'beginner's affirmation'?
Thanks-
Hi Junebug.
I know you did not ask me but I could not cope with anything too nice to start.
I did two very basic ones and only when I felt more able to did I step it up.
I think one of the earlier ones was, "things can change". "I accept myself". There were probably een more basic ones than that but I can't remember them. Don't worry if you don't believe it.
 
I have not done any inner child work and avoid the idea of this part of me. You all seem to be way ahead of me.
Every time I see this thread I think really negative thoughts towards my inner child. At least it feels less physical tonight. Or maybe not much less actually.
 
My inner child needs my dad and a couple horses. The smell of leather and the fresh cut hay out in the field. She needs the sound of the creek with the splashing of our horses moving across it. The smell of fresh grain and the sound of the tractor. The sound of my dads voice and his warm embrace.
 
My inner child needs

to understand that no-one is going to comfort me and to stop waiting for it to happen

Livergirl - Understand what you are saying re this, but I personally feel even though no-one needs to comfort us, and we ultimately need to only comfort ourselves, sometimes we need the presence of someone else with us to hold the space for us. They don't necessarily need to say anything, act out anything, or do anything, just be there, just hold the space for us in that vunerable moment, so that we, in that vunerable inner child moment, feels out in the open, not hidden, no longer suppressed.
