So I have a few days of vacation and I’m in a hotel. I have diapers, wipes etc. I also bought some baby toys, coloring books, playdough and a good amount of crayons.
The plan was to just only use diapers for the past 2 days. Which I’ve been doing.
The stuff I had planned WAS on the easy side,
no toilet whatsoever(that’s easy)
diaper changes as need be
cartoons on tv only
dedicated playtime sessions
pacifiers to be used when doing activities
food had to be eaten with hands only(I ordered extra messy foods)
bottles and sippy cups only
I even had gotten a little confetti cake to eat and get messy with.
So, yeah… I’m about to turn in for the night and legit could not even remotely regress outside of wearing diapers. I had high hopes and even had old Barney episodes downloaded on my PC that were playing in the background.
Playing with baby toys and doing coloring was absolutely not working for me.
I’m at a loss. SO…what did I do wrong or and how do I try again? What is the secret?
Use your imagination. Take a stack of blank papers, and just start drawing whatever comes into your head.
Make a story - picture a world with yourself as the star, imagining characters and adventures along a grand quest.
Challenge yourself to do a single task that you can put your mind to, and really give it your all. Build something, try something. Take something simple apart and try to figure out how it works.
Just be creative. You’ll find that spark, and once you do, just try to expand on those moments with similar activities. You’re trying to reach a state of mind, so if something isn’t working, don’t fight to try to like it. Let yourself do whatever comes naturally, and the rest will follow.
I found that of all the things I really actually like was the bubble bath and soak. Yeah, I was sucking on a paci while in the bath, while browsing my phone, but I’ll be damned if that didn’t really relax me.
As soon as cleaned up and dried off, I had already had a diaper ready to go on the bed.
I think you made a really good effort at exploring your little side and I love the idea of the messy cake.
What for you is “littlespace” because if you’re not a regressor who involuntary or voluntary enters a dissociative state where they in-part or fully experience life as a younger or much younger version of themselves you won’t get the same experience of those who are imo. If instead little space for you is a soothing comfort when you feel relaxed and comfortable enough to enjoy life as a baby, while still retaining the inner sense of being an adult then perhaps you were just over thinking your experience and forcing it too much.
What I’m trying to say is you can’t expect it to happen all the time, in fact it almost certainly won’t and if you don’t actually regress (definitions of what exactly age regression is vary) then you’ll have to define what you’re trying to achieve on your own terms and be guided by realistic expectations and your own needs and desires.
But to age regress and get into Little space for me anyway is different.
I know if I said to my inner child here are some toys to play with, it wouldn’t work for long siysiy is just to active and he would be getting in to mischief before long.
May I suggest you spend your time I’m trying to get to know you’re in a child and what is they like to do.
What is there Hope’s and dreams. And what are there fears.
Getting to know your inner child is what I call getting naked, dropping all the masks we wear and being really honest with our self.
You will find that you are in Little space heven biy finding those happy thoughts. What is it that makes you truly happy. What is it that feed you. Gives you satisfaction.
Than trust, faith in your self.
And that hope. The hope of what you truly what to be.
A sprinkling of fairy dust and it’s the second star to the right.
