A World Of Your Own
Hey Everyone,
I've had the idea of a 'mental safe space' (not necessarily the technical term) introduced to me as a mindfulness technique to use when I might feel a bit overwhelmed or stressedto mentally take myself away temporarily before re-grounding. Basically, the idea is to be able to imagine yourself somewhere else- it could be somewhere that actually exists, somewhere your imagination has created, or a combination of the two. It could have anything and anyone you want in it, but is essentially, to borrow from one of the songs in the recent Wonka film (here), a world of your own.
'A world of your own
A place to escape to
A world of your own
A place to go when you're
Feeling alone,
feeling unsure'
Feel free to use this space to share what your own little world might look like (as much as you're comfortable with and within guidelines of course). If you're not sure or stuck, I feel like the song, linked above, paints a picture of what the character's mental world might look like.
You might then like to revisit this thread to add to your little world (something I do if a little extra mindful escape might be needed) or remind yourself as needed. Also, feel free to tag others you feel may benefit from this space too!
