92. Finding Joy through the Inner Child (Solo Episode)

Welcome to Episode 92 - Finding Joy through the Inner Child (Solo episode) In a world that often seems to prioritise seriousness and adult responsibilities, we often forget the advantages and joy that came with our childhood. After a recent men’s retreat, I had an eye-opening experience that helped to reawaken my connection with my inner child. So in today’s episode I’ll be exploring just what that involved, the benefits of doing so and how you can do it as well. In this episode I cover: - The seriousness of adulthood and the loneliness we can all encounter - My own recent journey to rediscovering fun at a men’s retreat - The powerful exercise we undertook to connect with our inner child - An exercise you can join me in to reconnect with your inner child - Some things we can do going forward to continue to reconnect with our inner child and rediscover fun Key quotes: “What I started to realise, after I let my guard down, was that this was fun, this was the kind of stuff I used to do as a kid.” “I’m so serious these days. I really do struggle to let my guard down and have genuine fun.” “Kids are a great way to show you how to have fun, that pure fun, that pure joy from when we were younger.” For more from Mindful Men Check out the website at www.mindful-men.com.au Join the Mindful Men Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2050441875316594 You can also follow us on social media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindful.men.aus Instagram: @mindful.men.aus Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-rinne-246207247/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindful.men.aus Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXBNQmbj4ZQj3rzFAZALTA ***If anything triggers you from today's episode, please reach out to your support networks or seek professional help*** Cheers, Simon
