A stay-at-home-mom and military spouse of 19+ years, she is still relatively new to the blogosphere. So, I ask you – what is it that your inner child/monster is telling you?ĭawna, a story teller by nature, has many tales to tell – some hilarious, some heartbreaking – and has, likely, been writing them down since she was first able to form a sentence. They need love, attention, nurturing, and time to be who they are, without being told who they should be.Īs is the case with any child, no matter how small, they will tell us – in their own way – what they need and when. This playlist will get the momentum going. Make your move, shake your body, and say, 'Yes'. I am, then, left to wonder… how does one put an end to the balking of one’s inner child/monster? I imagine that it is no different than where one’s own physical children are concerned. Get in a peak state anytime with these 25 tracks used at Tony Robbins' flagship 4-day seminar, UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN. Perhaps, the little one within sees how much they take from the time that could be hers, if, of course, there was “enough time” in the day. Just because we, as humans, advance in years, does not mean that they stop wanting to play and experience all the fun life has to offer, simply because we tell them that it’s not what a “real” adult does or wants.Īnd, perhaps, this is where some of the impatience with my own children stems… Children who, naturally, need my attention. Why, then, do I treat my inner child so horribly? Why do any of us? After all, as spiritual beings, who know no such thing as time, our inner children know not what growing up is all about. Not to mention that CPS would have to get involved. Not even a teddy bear to keep her company.ĭoes it come as any surprise, then, that she acts like a monster when finally allowed out? After all, how well would my own children thrive, if they were to live in the same conditions? They wouldn’t. “There is not enough time to play today”. Ive never been so motivated to start a book over again.

While Unlimited Power is still the best concise distillation of Robbins work that Ive heard, Unleash the Power Within is powerful stuff. Not more than a child, she is easily wounded from all the frustrations, disappointments, and overabundance of responsibility, real and imaginary, which are placed upon her. As corny it sounds to take advice from a 'life coach,' its empowering nonetheless when it all makes this much sense and can be readily applied. We are one, and suppression will only make her stronger. I have come to know, though, that we co-exist, she and I. Her teeth and claws are sharp, but her tongue can be even more so. She growls and snarls and, sometimes, even spits. When unleashed, she can hurt those I love most. I have difficulties loving this monster that resides within. Under the “right” conditions, though, she can be summoned to the surface. Most times, one would not even know that she is there. This is an original post written by contributing writer Dawna from Hiccups in Time.
