You reparenting your inner child, you have to begin by reparenting yourself all over again and that means making choices, healing choices, daily choices, routine that will heal you from the childhood traumas and wounds and by intentionally making those choices in your own best interest, when I mean your own best interest, I mean that the only factor in those decision of who you are you and how they give you joy. By remodelling yourself you focus on taking care of yourself. This starts from the basic things like focusing on your nutrition. Are you eating well? Are you eating what you want to eat? Or you just eating what is available? What is your relationship with what you eat? Does that remind you of anything when you are a child?
