Do you remember a place where you have always felt safe? Go back to your safe space by visualizing, writing, or drawing.
Maybe your safe space is your bedroom, when you are with friends, when you are cuddling a pet, on vacation, on the soccer field, on the yoga mat, walking in nature, or just relaxing in the couch. Here are three methods to remember that space:
- Visualize your safe space. When you need a moment to yourself, close your eyes and picture yourself in the middle of the place that you choose.
- Write about your safe space, detailing the landscape, colors, and textures. What do you hear, see, and feel when you are in that place?
- Draw your safe space and post it somewhere meaningful: your bathroom mirror, your locker, next to your bed. Print an image and carry it around with you. Visual reminders can be powerful influences!
