Keep Your Inner Child Alive
Awake the creativity of your inner child
What is your inner child. I think it's the part of you that can find beauty in the small things. A butterfly, a colorful flower, a blade of grass, a cloud floating by the the clear blue sky.
Do you remember lying on the grass, gazing up at the clouds as they changed shapes and sizes? I do. I can remember lying there with a friend, watching the clouds as they changed shapes. Right there before your eyes, they formed elephants, cars, unicorns, and cotton candy.
Sometimes now I relax, stare out the window, and let my mind flow with the cloud. I can still find magical things dancing among those puffy, fluffy clouds. As I watch them my mind begins to wander. Pretty soon I find my mind start to fill with wonderful creative dreams and ideas.
As they fill my mind I attribute this flowing creativity to letting my inner child out to play. It seems as though whenever I do I find myself coming up with ideas that I may not have been able to otherwise. It may be that eventaully I may have come up with them some down the line, but I like to think the child I left behind is still there poking and prodding me towards that wonderous think called creativity.
Think about it. When you were small didn't you find wonder in just about everything around you? Didn't you have a question conderning everything you saw and heard? How much better it would be if we still had that wonderful child-like quality. Our imaginations back then were unbelievable. Our imaginations had no boundries. How wonderful it would be to have the imagination of a child. How creative we all would be.
Awake the inner child
How can you awake your inner child? There are several ways. First of all, allow yourself to make mistakes. As we grow up we seem to place an nrealistic emphasis on being mistake free. Whats the worst that can happen if you make a mistake.
Laugh out loud. Enjoy a good joke. Watch a funny movie or TV show. Laugh out loud. It feels good.
Love unconditionally. Have you ever noticed how a child loves you no matter what. Try it, it's an eye opening experience.
Have a good time. Go to an amusement park. Ride some rides. Play some of the games. Blow some bubbles. Try the slip and slide your children love so mush. It's as fun as it looks.
Let your imagination go wild. Sit back watch the clouds. See magic in them. Believe in miraacles. If your dreams is to write a best selling novel, imagine it happening. Imagine how you got to that point. Believe in yourself.
