Month Eight: Nurturing Your Inner Child
Whether you’re bounding in from Month Seven or just beginning here, I am so glad you’ve arrived. This month, we invite your inner child to come out and play—to rediscover wonder, creativity, and joy in every day.
What Month Eight is all about:
Awakening Wonder and Curiosity: Remember the thrill of seeing something new? This month brings back the magic—enjoy simple adventures and fill your days with awe.
Embracing Playfulness: Give yourself permission to be silly, lighthearted, and spontaneous. Try new activities, laugh loudly, and invite others to join in the fun.
Nurturing Creativity: Color outside the lines, make something with your hands, and reclaim the joys of imagination. Every blank page is an open field for play.
Celebrating Childlike Delight: Savor moments of innocence, gratitude, and spontaneous joy—these are treasures, just waiting for you to reclaim them.
How this journal works:
Each week starts with a short reading and a sneak peek at the self-reflection questions ahead.
Every day begins with “I AM” affirmations—positive, playful words to claim as your own (“I am curious,” “I am joyful,” “I am creative”).
You’ll find activities, prompts, and space for writing, doodling, or free journaling—this is your playground!
Why this month matters:
We often forget how to play as adults, but your inner child is always there, hoping for a chance to sparkle. Revisit lost wonders, share laughter, and see yourself through the delight of childlike eyes. You are never too old for bubbles, Play-Doh, or a good story read out loud!
A loving reminder from Lady Misty:
These journals build upon one another, but any journey begun is a victory. Please ask for help if anything feels heavy; seek joy wherever you can. Baby steps and big belly laughs are both welcome.
You Are Beautiful. You Are Amazing. You Are Worthy. I Believe in YOU!
Let’s let your inner child dance—through words, play, and wonder—this month and always.
