Your Sacred Space
As I grow older (and a little wiser), I realize how vital it is to have your own sacred time and space. Giving yourself that space to just breathe, grow, collect your thoughts, reach out and do what you need to do mentally to re-balance yourself is crucial to your well being and mental health. Some do it in groups; in a church, synagogue, or mosque. Others do it in private. Snatching a few moments to welcome with sun with some yoga or scribble some thoughts in a journal. Still others enjoy multi-tasking; taking a bath, walking your dogs (or the baby), breathing in the fresh scent of fall. It doesn’t matter how you do it, what’s crucial is that you do it! Since coming home from my retreat the other weekend, I’ve been making the time to find my sacred space. Most days I wake up earlier than I used to, light some candles and write in my journal. Other mornings I’ll do a quick sketch or watercolor. Sometimes a brisk dog walk or sweaty workout at the gym fills the bill. It’s really whatever works for you. I can’t remember the last time I thoughtfully took time for myself like this. Rather than focusing 100% on the needs of others (or my ever growing to-do list), I’ve managed to eek out some precious time for myself. I’m the better for it and so is my family. What about you? What do you do to find your sacred space?
