We all have that certain place that makes us feel whole, complete. That one place where we can truly let go of all our worries, stressors, and busy aspects of life. We have that special place where we can completely let go of all sense of time and responsibility. When our lives are crazy and we cant stop thinking, we go there to find peace. We go there to save the last bit of sanity we have left, we go there to feel rested, we go there to sort out everything in our minds free of interruption. We go there because ultimately its the one place we truly want to be. For some of us this place of serenity is in our own home, it might be the gym, an old building that no one goes, maybe its somewhere in the woods far enough you just feel away from it all. For some it may even be in a book, an alternate reality. When peace is non-existent in our own lives we can for a few moments be in another inside our minds. Wherever your place is, we all have one. Some people might think its stupid, I mean how can a certain place really change your mindset completely right? Well those people may want to give it a try, because once you find that place where you can let go and debrief, it becomes your source of mental relief. It becomes the place you turn to when your having a bad day as well as where you go when you've had the best day. No matter what the reason, that place has sentimental and emotional value to you, it provides comfort and a feeling of security. These emotions and feelings are what we as humans often long for. We want to feel secure and comforted, who knew that those feelings already are or could be right at your very finger tips. Not in a relationship, those come and go it seems like, but in a place that never changes, somewhere that's always there. I have my own little spot of serenity down by the creek. Its still on our property but down there I feel as if I'm in another world. I escape reality and step into this magical forest, Its been special to me since I was young and still is the place where memories come alive. Its the place where imagination flows, the place where I can let go. So I challenge you today, find your place, find where you feel safe and secure. And go there when you need a mental leg up or even when your having the best day of your life. Just cherish that place. :)
Often times when you think about "love", where does your mind go? For some of us it might be the love shared between a couple or a family, friends etc. Rarely however do we think about ourselves. The world can feel like its spinning a million miles an hour, I know mine is. We spend so much time making sure everyone else is okay that we often times neglect ourselves. We love everyone and try to make sure they know that, but what about making sure we know we love ourselves? That were happy with who we are? You may be thinking I've gone crazy right now trying to tell you to love yourself lol. I'm serious though, we are our biggest critics and I feel like we spend so much time critiquing ourselves that we forget to be happy with who we are. We tend to excuse mistakes of ones we care about, as we should but then we dwell on our own mistakes and let them tear us apart. We need to show ourselves the compassion we show others and we need to be comfortable with who we are as ...
