🎂It's Your Inner Child's Birthday!🥳

To honor and celebrate the National Sovereignty and Children's Day in Turkey, we attribute this episode of Inner Dialogues with Ecem to children all over the world and to the inner child within each of us.

We started with a heartwarming story about this national holiday dedicated to children, and why it's a reminder to celebrate our own inner child every day!

Then, we flipped the script on the feelings of cringe and shame, the concept of growth, the definition of childish and most importantly the pure joy.

Call to Action: Take time this week to reconnect with your inner child. What activities brought you joy as a kid? How can you incorporate some of that playfulness into your life today?

This episode is your invitation to reconnect with your inner child and rediscover the joy in life.

In this episode of Inner Dialogues with Ecem, I've dived deep into the core aim of this podcast: understanding our individual philosophy.

We explore how our philosophies are formed by our experiences and subconscious mind, and how they influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

To strengthen our why in this self-discovery and understanding journey, I also shared my answers for the question: What would happen when we don’t understand and live up to our individual philosophy?

Join me in understanding our individual philosophy✨

• My words, "Individual philosophy is like a track underneath a train. Each of our unique individual philosophies is the track underneath our being" took their inspiration from Marie Forleo's book "Everything is Figureoutable". The original saying goes in the following way, "Like a track running underneath a train, our beliefs determine where we go and how we get there." (pp. 28)
