Hey little friends! I get a lot of asks and messages from you all asking for advice on slipping into littlespace! Sometimes it’s hard for us due to stress, anxiety, or over thinking! So fear not, I’ve decided to make a little list with some helpful tips I hope this helps some of you, and feel free to add any tips of your own!
Start your littlespace adventure in a safe place where you know you won’t be interrupted! Most people choose to go into littlespace in the privacy of their home or in their bedroom with the door locked.
Set uninterrupted time where you can get lost in yourself without it disrupting grown up tasks! An hour or longer is preferred so that you can take time to relax into the right state of mind. Try not to set too short of a time to where you feel rushed.
Surround yourself with soothing audio. Turn on one of your favorite movies or cartoons. You don’t have to watch it, but the background sound itself could help bring you into the mindset. If you don’t have your favorite movie or show available, then try listening to children’s music. Like lullabies or Disney soundtracks.
Surround yourself with stuffies, dolls, and toys that remind you of how cute and little you are!
Maybe try laying down on the floor on your favorite softest blankies and a paci or soother if you have any.
Build a blankie fort with lots of blankies and pillows and fill it with tons of your toys!
Make sure to have at least one activity while in littlespace. This could be small activities like coloring with crayons, minor popsicle stick crafts with glue, beading necklaces and bracelets, building with legos or blocks.
Regress yourself further with speech! Even if you’re just babbling to yourself or verbally playing pretend with your stuffies and dolls, baby talking has been shown to really help Littles into their special head space.
Dress up! Wear what makes you feel most happy and feeling little. Whether it be your fav onesie, a big over sized sweater or your fav tutu!
Eat little-sized snacks and drinks! Use sippies/bottles, and colorful or cartoon oriented plates and plastic wear. Try eating and drinking things you enjoyed as a kid. For me, it’s things like gold fish crackers, mandarins and apple juice or chocolate milk. I’ve noticed finger foods make me feel the littlest!
That’s all the tips I have! Just remember to be yourself, and try not to over think too much. We all have trouble getting into little space sometimes. It’s normal, and you aren’t any less valid because of it. Keep in mind, when you’re calm and relaxed in a safe place, slipping into littlespace will come with ease. Good luck lil angels
