Help for a new little?..

[Guest missmindi]

Hey y'all!

I'm not sure this is the right place to put this post or not... so I'm sorry in advance.. 

I had to go through something pretty traumatizing this week and I have something really stressful that starts tomorrow, and I'm really struggling trying to find the best ways to help me get into little space. I know myself well enough that I have to find a way to not feel so... adulty... so i can tackle this new upcoming stress and continue dealing with that happened this week. However, I'm still so new to everything and have read so many suggestions my eyes could bleed! I just don't know where to start 😔

I... I was just wondering... if there are any suggestions someone could make that they have either had success with as a little, or as a daddy to help their little, calm their anxiety enough to get into a little space.

I know it's a personal preference and I'm trying reeeeeally hard to find my preferences but... I don't get to explore this side of me often.

I have read some suggestions on here that were great! I guess.. I guess I just need help hearing about successful strategies that have worked for others to find a starting point to explore what might be helpful for me... if that makes sense.. idk if that makes sense..

Any help would be extremely helpful and thank you for your time to read my post..

I always talk to my little in a tone of voice that would only be used for kid. Really soft and thoughtful. It work really well.

@Manddlg sadly I don't have a daddy to do that for me. maybe talking to myself like that might help..? I should probably learn how to talk to myself nicer anyway.. thank you for your suggestion! 😌

There are some YouTube videos that could help. Zebby's little audios are good and usually work for me! You could try those

Get something tiny and super cute that you love, like a keychain or something that will fit in your pocket so you can keep with you at all times and when you are super stressed focus on how cute it is or remember the show/movie it's from or whatever brings you happiness!!

Look for kids audiobooks or videos so you can listen for a bit before you go to bed or as soon as you wake up in the morning.

Install short games/apps that make you feel little and you can use for a couple of minutes here and there when you have the chance or when you are feeling overwhelmed.

Wear cute undies in the day and adorable pijamas at night.

Treat yourself to your favorite snack at the end of the week (if it's unhealthy, if it's healthy stuff go ahead and have it more often!)

Good luck, I hope everything goes well *hugs*

@Nymph oh wow! Those are all great suggestions! I love the little keychain idea, that will be really helpful for tomorrow. Thank you!!

@gigisweetheart do you have any favorite creators that are helpful for you? or do you usually just search youtube when you need the little extra help?

When your home and you feel comfortable to do it as well, seen not everyone lives in a place they can go to little space. But could work in your room as well if you can't.

What ever age group you are, "Seen I have not seen your page at the time from writing this" Wear your little clothes and go all out. I have my little wear her little close, have to coral around on all fours, "Seen that helps make you feel smaller then you really are" but also have a paci to suck on, and some times wear a diaper seen that take a way your big girl panties from you. then after all that, do little things you do when you are in that space, Draw, color, play with toys, read books, watch kids show, listen to kids music. 
You can do this even more then just today, Make a time of day that you go to this pace every day and stick to you, if you don't make a punishment's you got to do seen you broke a rule. 
Having Rules and punishment's even when you don't have a daddy to take care of you, is always good. Also help you when you need to be your little self.
If you want to talk to more little or more from DDLG, there discord groups you can join as well. This one https://discord.gg/63QH95k2hD "Teeny Tiny Teatime", so your not alone, just that place is to talk to other DDLG from the community, just a place to meet and date a daddy/mommy/little/CG.

I like to make a little snack and some juice in my bottle. Then color in my bed. I like Strawberry Shortcake coloring books. I like to have my studies by my side so we can talk. All these things help me feel little so she can come out and play.

Hello, I hope that you found something or someone that helped you get into little space, I second the YouTube channels as I have know many littles over the years that utilized those. Additionally, if you have any friends that are Daddy's maybe they could help you by reading you a story, talking to you or just help taking care of you. I have done that for littles that I am friends with in the past on a platonic caregiver level. 

It is not easy sometimes to get into little space without a Daddy, however in some cases it does get easier once you are able to as you find what triggers your little space on you own. I wish you the best and hope all is well.

I'm sorry to hear that you are dealing with stress, that sucks.  For me, it is really hard to get to that headspace when I am stressed.  What I would do is take a bath or shower and use all of the frou frou girly stuff, change into clothes that make me feel smol, put on a disney playlist, and sharpen my colored pencils at my desk, which usually sparks a desire to color a pretty picture.  The act of getting clean, putting on different clothes, and changing the atmosphere with music is almost like a transition from adult to little.  This is what works for me and I encourage you to write out the things that make you feel little and keep a list somewhere safe so that you can refer to it when you are feeling stressed because it isn't always easy to remember when there is a lot of stuff on your mind.  If you are the type who likes to write, keeping a little journal can be helpful to have one place to write out thoughts from your little side, I find that really liberating.

Cute Snacks and something to drink in a cute cup/bottle or sippycup helps me too.
And coloring ! Its relaxing too
