I am going to need you to think about your safe place.
Yes, you heard me correctly.
Everybody has a safe place, whether they realize it or not.
It’s where you go when life gives you more than you can handle at once.
It’s the place you go to recharge and recenter.
I am asking you to think about it because you may not be conscious of it, and if you are unaware of it, you can not tailor it.
I am a bit of an introvert, so my safe place is self-isolation, reading, praying, and the occasional bottle of dry white wine.
Safe place.
Identify it for yourself and tailor it in such a way that it is beneficial to you.
That toxic person you keep going back to could be replaced with reading.
Happy hour with the guys at the bar, where you always have too much to drink, can be replaced with two drinks at home with yourself.
Safe place.
Identify it and tailor it.
With love, yours truly, Cristian.
