Welcome back to "Remaining Calm through October." I'm Karin Del Maestro, your host and a health and calmness coach, also a breast cancer and BRCA2 survivor.
Today, we're diving into the concept of creating a safe space within your home, a space where you can find peace and calmness, no matter what you're dealing with.
Benefits of Creating a Safe Space:
1. Finding Your Calm Space
- Your home should feel like a comforting hug when you walk through the door. It's about creating a space that makes you feel safe, at ease, and relaxed.
- This isn't about the size or glamor of your home; it's about the ambience and energy you cultivate within it. You can find a safe space anywhere, whether it's a cozy corner, your porch, or even your bathtub.
2. Declutter and Find Joy
- The magic of decluttering lies in the concept of only keeping items that bring you joy. Let go of things that don't make you feel good or that add unnecessary stress.
- By curating your living space to include only what you love, you can transform your home into a calming sanctuary that reflects your unique style and personality.
3. Safe Space for Self-Care
- Your safe space is your sanctuary for self-care. It's where you can unwind, read a book, enjoy a cup of tea, or simply take a deep breath.
- This designated spot becomes a powerful tool for enhancing your well-being. It's a space where you can listen to calming tips or engage in mindfulness practices to reduce stress and anxiety.
*Calm Action of the Day:*
Your calm action today is to identify a space in your home, no matter how small, that can be your personal safe space. It could be where the morning sunlight hits, a comfy chair, or even a corner you've never noticed.
Make this space truly yours, only including items that bring you joy. It's not about spending money but repurposing and reimagining your existing belongings.
By creating this sacred space, you're setting the stage for a more relaxed and centered life.
Wishing you a day filled with serenity and calmness until we meet again.
