Everyone needs a place they can go to where they feel safe, can calm down, or think through solutions to their problems. It should be somewhere that feels cosy and appeals to you visually that is away from others, so you can have some privacy. This place is where you can feel all your emotions and take a break. It could be your bed, somewhere in your bedroom or house, somewhere in nature, or even an imaginary space.
Be there, or picture yourself there. Fill it with things that make you happy and that feel good to touch. If you want to reach out for help, go to your cosy corner to speak to someone on the phone or bring them there so you feel safe whilst you emotionally open up. Listen to your favourite music whilst there or read an uplifting blog post like this one from our friend Becky! Having a little rest in your cosy corner can reset your thinking and make you feel comforted. It’s your space and it should make you feel safe.
