ACTIVITY: In this creative activity, you’re going to be describing an adult whom, in your childhood, you either loved or would have loved spending time with.
-
Think of a time in your childhood…
when there was an adult who impacted you in a positive way. Write down this person’s qualities. For example, Grandpa respected me. He never judged or criticized me.… Aunt Maggie noticed me. She paid attention to me and was interested in what I had to say. She had kind eyes that looked at me with such sweetness and love…. Mr. Smith spent time with me. He talked to me about my concerns with my friends and family.
-
Now create in your mind…
the most wonderful, best possible Big Person, possessing all the qualities you needed, wanted, and deserved.
-
List the qualities of your model True Adult…
It is powerful to write down these qualities and then read them aloud to yourself. That way you can see, hear and feel more connected to them. You will be developing them within yourself as you learn the Inner Alignment Method (I AM). Your Child will then have this most fulfilling relationship with a True Adult (You) for the rest of his or her life.
EXTRA CREDIT:
-
Sit in your True Adult seat…
Imagine watching a movie starring your Child. Imagine your Child on the screen, interacting with your model True Adult – the kind of adult your Child deserves. Enjoy spending as much time watching the movie as you are moved to do.
-
Sit in your Child’s seat…
Imagine being the star of that movie, and interacting with your empowering model True Adult.
-
Switch back into your True Adult seat…
Sit in silence, present with your Child in this infusing experience as it lingers.
