ddlgplaygroundshop: 20 TIPS TO HELP YOU GET INTO LITTLE SPACE! (as seen on our blog here) Getting into little space is a therapeutic way to relieve stress, and leave your adult worries behind. Little space is a state of mind you can freely enter that is younger than you are currently, also know as age regression! Age regression is a helpful tool in any adult’s life, and is often overlooked as a legitimate coping method! Often times, people will be surprised to find that they already have many quirky youthful habits that are in fact considered regression! For example, you may enjoy watching your favorite Disney movie after a hard day at work, or when you’re emotionally taxed. Or, you may still cuddle with a teddy bear at night. Or perhaps you enjoy drinking your juice out of a juicebox! These are all aspects of age regression, and stem from a desire to regress back to a childlike state of mind to help soothe yourself from “big” problems and stresses. You don’t need to have a designated “caregiver” to enjoy the benefits of regression or little space either! There are innumerable ways you can explore healthy regression activities all on your own. We’re going to explore a list of 20 youthful and exciting ways to get you into that little headspace FAST! (Psst - kink is for 18+, babes!) 1. COLORING BOOKS! There’s a reason adult coloring books are gaining popularity again. What’s more youthful than coloring a pretty picture in either a children’s coloring book, or an adult coloring book! There’s also scientific evidence proving the validity of coloring as a stress relieving and therapeutic practice. Not into coloring books, why not freestyle in the bath with these bath crayons? They wash right off the walls with water! 2. BATHS WITH BUBBLES OR BATH BOMBS! Who doesn’t love a cozy bubble bath? When we’re young, that’s all we had! Draw yourself a warm bath and throw in some deliciously scented bath salts, bath bombs, or use your favorite bubbles! Bonus little space points if you bring some cute bath toys in the bath with you, like these ones we carry! 3. SUCKING ON A PACIFIER/BINKIE! Don’t knock it util you try it. Not only are adult sized pacifiers truly aesthetically pleasing and adorable, but you’ll be surprised how calming and fun they are. The ones we carry have true-to-size adult nipples and mouth guards so they look absolutely perfect on an adult face! Plus, they don’t have any nasty BPA or chemicals like most others do! We have DOZENS of styles and styles to choose from here. 4. WATCHING CLASSIC CHILDREN’S MOVIES OR CARTOONS! Do you have a favorite childhood cartoon or movie? Disney movies from your childhood are a perfect way to explore little space and quickly regress you! Don’t restrict yourself to movies or cartoon from your past though, you can always watch fun new cartoons and TV shows like paw patrol, octonauts, my little pony, and more! 5. BLOWING BUBBLES! Blowing bubbles is such a fun thing to do, no matter your age. Go to your local dollar store and pick up a big jug of bubbles and some wands, and play away! If you do it outside, I guarantee you will bring others joy as well! 6. WEARING A TRADITIONAL ADULT ONESIE! Wearing onesies with the traditional snap crotch and youthful prints is a great way to get into little space quickly. Not only will you look cute as heck, but it will regress you to a much simpler time! We carry DOZENS of unique and gorgeous styles here, including many plus size ones! 7. WEARING DIAPERS! Bonus points if you pair that adult onesie with a super cute adult diaper! We carry many adult sized reusable diapers so that you don’t have to worry about wasting your hard earned cash on disposables. Plus, saving the environment is cool, baby! You don’t have to actually use the diaper if you aren’t comfortable with that, but many ABDL (Adult Baby Diaper Lovers), find using a diaper very soothing. In fact, many within the community find it allows them to sleep much better at night too, whether they actually pee in them or not! 8. BAKING CUPCAKES & DECORATING THEM! Chances are when you were young you loved helping your mom or caregiver bake cupcakes and decorate them! Why not enjoy that again today? Get creative, and make yourself a tasty little space treat! 9. LULLABIES AT BEDTIME! Lullabies are a wonderfully soothing way to wind down at bed time, or nap time, and help you not only get into little space, but also relieve stress and make you sleepy! Bonus points if you listen to your lullabies in sweet little bunny ear headphones like these. 10. NAP TIME, ESPECIALLY WITH STUFFIES! Speaking of sleeping, what’s more youthful than naps? When we’re young we took naps all the time. Engaging in that simple little act now is very “little” and soothing, plus, naps are healthy! 11. TEAPARTY OR CUDDLE TIME WITH YOUR STUFFIES! You’re never too old to play pretend. Set up your favorite kawaii stuffed animals and have a make believe tea party. The best part? You can actually drink the tea. ;) Bonus point if you make and drink tea out of this genuine mrs potts ceramic beauty & the beast teaset. 12. “LITTLE SPACE FOODS”! Little space foods like goldish, animal crackers, dinosaur nuggets, and prepackaged “lunch” foods are a super cute and delicious way to engage your little side! 13. DRESSING YOUTHFUL IN KAWAII CLOTHING! Traditional kawaii clothing, like the clothing we sell in our shop, is very youthful, innocent, flattering, and adorable. Plus, you can wear it out and nobody will know the difference. Lolita fashion is also highly regressive in it’s style. You’ll be feeling cute and little, and the world will admire you for your fashion sense. Check out our entire kawaii clothing collection here! 14. CREATE A DESIGNATED FLOOR SPACE FOR BEING LITTLE! Getting down on the floor, like one would if you were a baby, is a great way to start feeling little. Crawl around on a cute and soft terry play mat like this one, set up some toys like these, and enjoy! 15. BLANKET FORTS OR PLAY TENTS Create a classic blanket and pillow fort, or invest in a beautiful pre-made play tent that you can store all your little space gear in! We highly recommend these affordable adult-ready play tents! 16. PUT A CANOPY ON YOUR BED! Put a delightful mosquito net, or canopy over your bed will instantly make you feel smol and precious! A traditional accessory in baby nurseries and kids bedrooms, there’s no reason you can’t rock a beautiful one like this in your room today! 17. BABBLE OR BABY TALK Babbling to yourself therapeutically or talking like a toddler or baby is a great way to regress. You don’t have to be talking to anyone but yourself. As you’re playing or going about your day, speak to yourself like a little one to remind yourself that life isn’t so serious, and you can forget your big worries for awhile. 18. PLAY DRESS UP! Playing dress up is such a common activity when we’re younger, and as we get older, we start calling is cosplay! It’s fun, plus it bodes well for cute photoshoots. Dress up like a cute little kitty cat, like with this lingerie inspired set, or a baby bunny with this beautiful bunny onesie! 19. USE YOUTHFUL DINNERWARE & CUTLERY! Using traditional melamine and plastic cutlery and dinner plates or bowls is a great way to get into little space. Bonus age regression points if you pair it with a bunch of little space foods. We absolutely LOVE these complete sets here for adults. 20. JUMP & CRAWL ON YOUR BED! What’s more youthful than jumpers and crawing around on your bed like a little worm! It’s fun, therapeutic, and heck, it could be considered exercise right? As you can see my little ones, there’s so many unique and simple ways to explore little space without the need for a caregiver. You can be smol and sweet and precious, all by yourself, and gain all the benefits of age regression without a partner! Huggies & Love, DDLG Playground -- source link
