Healing my inner child 🥺🤍
When I was younger, my parents never bought me toys, always clothes. Which I understand I guess at some level, it’s something I’d use all the time right?
I’d always want a stuffed animal for my birthday or Christmas even. But I never did.
Now that I’m older, I buy myself items that I use I had as a kid. As you can see, I collect squishmallows 😂🫢
I love them, I have fun and the child in me is always excited to see them, that I actually have a stuffed animal.
Do whatever you need to heal your inner child. You deserve it, and most importantly, we need to heal our inner child. It’s not wrong to think that we deserved a better childhood.

Healing your inner child is essential for emotional well-being. Many people find that engaging in activities they loved as kids—like playing with toys or collecting items that bring them joy—can foster a sense of nostalgia and happiness. Practicing self-compassion and allowing yourself to enjoy the simple pleasures can create a powerful healing experience. Psychological studies emphasize the benefits of addressing unresolved childhood feelings, which can promote emotional maturity. Using toys such as Squishmallows can serve as comfort objects that help individuals reconnect with their playful side. Whether through creative expression or leisure activities, embracing your inner child can result in greater happiness and an improved sense of self. Additionally, consider journaling about your childhood experiences and feelings. This practice not only offers insights into your past but also encourages the validation of emotions you may have suppressed. Remember, nurturing your inner child is a journey, and it’s never too late to start taking those steps towards healing. It’s essential to recognize that healing requires compassion, understanding, and a commitment to self-love, allowing the child within to flourish.
I love squishmallows! I have my head on one when sleeping and the other I drape my arm over. Sounds silly but I like it. And have you seen the squishmallow for period pain, such a great idea! (On Amazon)
