When I was young, My brothers, sisters, and I had formed a Cultural Group called “L” Board recreation Club through which we conducted a number of Plays and other cultural activities. My Brother was the scriptwriter and I was the Assistant Director taking care of the dialogue delivery, acting, and so on. We created the props ourselves — Swords, crowns, and other ornaments with gold paper and even created a 5 feet wall with cardboard sheets. We even endured the task of carrying it around everywhere we were invited to perform.

Prompting, Stage presentation, body language, lighting effects, music with vessels etc… we did it all ourselves, a feat which was great fun and truly memorable.

Recently during #dusshera celebrations, our Next Gen children wanted us to write them a script. It was a walk down memory lane and brought me great joy. We felt like children once again and forgot current-day stress and pressures. The preparation period was full of jokes and childlike giggles.

This made me realize:
Finding your inner child doesn’t mean you’re immature or don’t want to grow up. Rather, it can help make it easier to understand your adult experience, heal from pain in your past, and handle any future challenges with self-compassion. Since tapping into this awareness of your inner child can help you regain a sense of joy and wonder, you can even consider it a form of #selfcare.
