so I am still learning this one.
But Im finding some new things that put me into this headspace would be definitely cartoons and coloring, but I personally prefer colored pencils over crayons-but I will use them. Also when I go play with a few specific toys, I like to make believe with stuffies. Or build with Lego's. I also like to draw or sketch and when I just let go and don't care about how perfect the pic has to be I feel like I slip more into little/middle space.
I want to try barbies....but I just get nervous when I get to that aisle and leave without any. I honestly was thinking about trying again today when I ran to the store. I played with Barbies a lot as a kid and I enjoyed it.
Also when my partner uses certain terms or phrases that make me feel smaller or younger. Especially when he helps me with certain things that are out of my physical capabilities. Like opening jars I can't. Or reaching for something I cant. When he uses certain hand gestures, like snapping his fingers and pointing in front of him. Its like an immediate change and I don't always recognize it until I hear my own voice has lightened and sounds younger.
I hide my phone because the second a notification goes off I feel like I slip right back out.
I have my own playlist I created, only certain songs and music make me feel little.
It also helps when I dress in certain clothes.
