Milk and cookies, the preferred snack of children and sometimes adults, a childhood treat that we can indulge in sometimes without feeling guilty for it.
As adults what are you r childhood treats, that if you ate them took you back to a pleasant memory? Is there a food that when you eat it, it feels as if you are back there, when you were little and in the safety of a trusted adults?
I am asking you to be a bit nostalgic today, especially if you celebrated the festivities this December, I am asking because inside of each of us, there is a child who still longs for safety and comfort. If that child is not appeased or acknowledge or made to feel at ease, the adult of today may well struggle.
At some point in the year I did perhaps ask you to write a letter to your younger self, and in that letter I perhaps asked you to make it right with your inner child. Perhaps at the time I have asked you to give your younger self advice about how life may have changed. I perhaps asked you to hug your younger self, if that is what what they needed. Perhaps if a threat needed to be averted, perhaps your adult self can imagine removing the threat. Or perhaps if you did have trusted adults around, perhaps they can embrace you with love and support a few extra times.
All it takes is a hug, a kiss and some love, for a childhood memory to get a different perspective. And perhaps it is time to get the milk and cookies out and sit on the floor and just enjoy it.
Time to take out your diary and take some notes when answering the questions.
