🌞Hey’all - Good morning!

Deadlines, meetings, and to-do lists often drown out the softest parts of us: the playful, curious inner child who once found magic in cardboard boxes and sunny afternoons. Today, pause and notice when was the last time you let that spark breathe?

This Morning Reunion Ritual is your gentle invitation to reconnect. To remind yourself that joy isn’t something you have to earn, it’s hidden in everyday moments waiting to be found. Breathe in a little wonder. Sip your tea like it’s your first. Let your mind wander without an agenda.

Today, your only task: say hello to the child within you. They’re still there and they’ve missed you.

Ritual of the Week

Morning Reunion Ritual - Thursday

Take five gentle minutes today to greet your inner child and bring their magic back into your grown-up world.

🖼️Start with a Childhood Snapshot, find an old photo, hold it, and smile at that tiny adventurer. Close your eyes for a Guided Memory Travel - breathe deep and step into one happy scene from your childhood.

💌Next, write a Kind-Word Letter, just two heartfelt lines in your journal: “Dear [Your Childhood Name], I see your wonder and promise to keep you safe and loved.”

🤸Now, a Playful Gesture, hum that silly song, doodle a sun, or stretch your arms wide like a kid greeting the sky.

🌈Finally, whisper this Affirmation Embrace: “I honor my playful, resilient heart.”

Take that warmth into your day, your inner child is right here, cheering for you.
