Reconnect with your inner child by revisiting what made you happy as a kid. The speaker uses A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh books and E.H. Shepard's illustrations as a way back to childhood joy, and asks what you'd do today to care for the child version of yourself.
Chapters
We just have to remember to treat our inner child. She's searching for a beautiful copy because I saw a really old tatty copy in a secondhand shop and I thought, oh, I would really love a proper copy of this. The child really needs a copy of this because it is beautiful and it's a childhood thing that I've always loved, and I think maybe I could enjoy it again as an adult. So what am I talking about? I am talking about Winnie the Pooh. I have always had an absolute love affair with Winnie the Pooh. Not only do I love the author, but I also love the illustrations by E.H. Shepard. And the author, I can never say his name, A.A. Milne. I don't know if that's how you say it, but there you go. Winnie the Pooh, the original, The House at Pooh Corner, and then the poems collections are When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. I have a friend who's older than me and she still loves Winnie the Pooh, and I just love the way it doesn't often make sense, but it's very accepting. Like Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore and Piglet and Tigger. I love Tigger. I wish I had Tigger's energy. I just think there's so many lessons that we can learn from tapping into our inner children and just relaxing. I, I really— and considering I've been a lifelong fan of Winnie the Pooh, I really don't know why I don't remember reading them. But you know, childhood trauma and all that, maybe those happy memories got blocked out. But I am really excited To give my inner child this treat. So what can you do today to treat your inner child?
