My Inner Child: Let’s play
Me: I can’t. I have work to do.
Inner Child: You’ve been sitting there for a long time.
Me: I know. But I need to get this done.
Inner Child: Are you having fun?
Me: Well, this is important stuff. It is supposed to be productive, contributing, meaningful, and . . .
Inner Child: That does not sound fun. Why don’t we play?
Me: You’re right. Let’s play.
Have you talked with your inner child lately?
