Reconnecting with the Remarkable Girl Inside You
Once upon a time, there was a little girl full of light and laughter…
She believed that she could be anyone she wanted to be. She was unstoppable, jumping off rooftops with an unwavering conviction that she could fly. She believed in her own magic without question. But somewhere along the journey to adulthood, the doubts started to creep in.
Maybe someone called her "too much" or "not enough." Perhaps she faced a heartbreak that led her to question her own worth or experienced a failure that made her doubt her abilities. As the years went by, the layers of self-doubt and fear seemed to pile up, burying the bright, fearless girl beneath the weight of these insecurities.
But here’s the truth: she’s still there. That remarkable girl is waiting patiently, ready to be rediscovered and brought back into the light. This blog post is your invitation to reconnect with her, to remember who you truly are, and to embrace the strength, joy, and self-worth that are already within you.
1. Begin by Remembering Her Brilliance
To rediscover that beautiful, carefree girl inside, take a moment to remember her. Visualize the girl who dreamed freely, played wholeheartedly, and believed in her ability to create magic. What were her passions? What dreams lit her up from the inside?
Try an exercise:
Find a comfortable, quiet space and close your eyes.
Picture yourself as a child. What made you excited? What dreams did you hold dear? What small things made you feel alive?
Write down whatever memories or feelings come up. Let them flow without judgment.
These memories may feel distant, but they’re still a part of you. By bringing them to the surface, you’re tapping into a version of yourself that remembers her innate worth.
2. Reclaim Your Self-Worth
As we grow, life introduces us to the harsh reality of external validation, making it easy to forget our intrinsic value. The remarkable girl inside you knew her worth because she didn’t measure it against others—she simply knew she was enough. To reconnect with this part of yourself, start by redefining your self-worth. Instead of seeking validation from outside sources, recognize that you are already enough just as you are.
Affirmations to Reclaim Your Worth:
I am worthy of love, joy, and success.
I am enough, just as I am.
I honor the dreams, wisdom, and light within me.
Repeat these affirmations daily or when you need a reminder of who you are. Words have power, and with time, these statements can help you reconnect with the unshakable confidence you once held.
3. Release the Doubts and Limitations
Many of the doubts we carry began with a single painful moment: a hurtful comment, a breakup, or a failure. Over time, these experiences turned into beliefs about ourselves—beliefs that have held us back. But the good news is, these limiting beliefs are not permanent. You can let them go.
Practice letting go:
Write down every doubt or limiting belief you have about yourself (e.g., “I’m not smart enough,” “I don’t deserve happiness”).
Look at each belief and ask yourself: Is this belief true, or did I adopt it from someone else?
Cross out each belief as a symbolic act of release, and replace it with an empowering truth (e.g., “I am smart and capable,” “I deserve happiness and success”).
Through this practice, you’re actively choosing to let go of what no longer serves you and make space for the remarkable, limitless version of yourself.
4. Embrace Self-Compassion
The remarkable girl inside you didn’t judge herself harshly. She accepted her mistakes and moved on, because she saw them as part of the journey. Embracing self-compassion is key to reconnecting with her. Speak to yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you would to a friend.
Self-Compassion Exercise:
Write a letter to yourself, from the perspective of that remarkable girl inside. Remind yourself of your strengths, dreams, and everything that makes you unique.
When you read this letter back, notice how it feels to be reminded of your greatness and possibility. Keep it somewhere close and re-read it when you need encouragement.
By fostering self-compassion, you’re giving yourself permission to feel whole, even with your imperfections. The remarkable girl inside you knows that these imperfections are part of what makes you beautiful.
5. Take Action on Your Dreams
Remember that fearless girl who was ready to jump off rooftops because she believed she could fly? She didn’t wait for “the right time” or the “perfect circumstances.” She trusted herself, took risks, and allowed her passion to lead the way. To reconnect with her, start by taking action on your dreams—even if it’s a small step. You don’t need to have everything figured out; you just need to start.
Dream-Activation Exercise:
Pick one small action each day that aligns with a dream or goal, no matter how big or small it may seem. Maybe it’s journaling ideas for a business you want to start, reaching out to someone for guidance, or spending five minutes on a new skill.
Remind yourself that each step, however small, brings you closer to your dreams. Each action is a vote of confidence in yourself, bringing you back to that resilient, dream-driven girl inside.
Taking these small steps keeps your dreams alive and reignites the feeling of possibility that you once held so closely. When you show yourself that you’re capable of taking action, you build confidence and reinforce the belief that you are enough.
6. Surround Yourself with Positivity and Support
One of the best ways to nurture that remarkable girl within is by surrounding yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. Choose relationships that remind you of your worth and support you in rediscovering your strengths. Friends, mentors, or communities that inspire and empower you can be a powerful source of motivation.
Cultivate a Positive Circle:
Make a list of people who bring positivity, support, and love into your life.
Reach out to them, connect with them, and share your journey. Let these relationships help you build a support system that aligns with the person you’re becoming.
Likewise, minimize time spent with those who doubt or diminish you. The girl inside you needs a safe, encouraging environment to thrive.
7. Practice Gratitude for Who You Are Right Now
Gratitude is a powerful way to shift your perspective and ground yourself in the present. Instead of focusing on what you perceive to be missing or “wrong,” embrace what’s already remarkable about you. Acknowledge the strengths, wisdom, and resilience you’ve developed along the way.
Daily Gratitude Practice:
At the end of each day, write down three things you’re grateful for about yourself—qualities, talents, or moments that made you feel proud.
Reflect on how these qualities connect you to the remarkable girl inside. For instance, if you’re proud of a small act of kindness, acknowledge the gentle spirit that has always been part of you.
By focusing on gratitude, you cultivate a positive relationship with yourself and strengthen the connection to your inner child.
