If you don’t already have one, I encourage you to find your happy spot. A place that you can go, to unwind, unplug and do you. A place where you don’t have to pretend to be anyone else but you. A place that gives you strength and energy. I visit my happy spot multiple times a day, weather permitting. I feel lost and disconnected when I’m not able to go to my happy spot, to recharge my soul.
My happy spot is the “green box” in the field across the street from my apartment. It’s a large electrical box on a cement pad. The cement pad is large enough for us to sit comfortably at. It’s where I begin my days, enjoying my morning coffee waking up to all that day has to offer. I love waking up to the singing of all the different birds and watching the rabbits play. Relaxing mornings at the green box energize me, filling my day with optimism.
My happy spot is where I recharge my soul and reflect on my life. While at the green box, I feel completely free to be me. No masks, no pretending. It’s where I socialize with my amazing friend, Angel and others. I do my best thinking there, making powerful insights to who I am, and where I’m going in life. It’s my escape from reality and responsibilities. It’s where I feel in control of the crazy. Just as I start my day at green box, I end it there well. I’m able to disconnect from the day. I unwind and reflect over my day. What did I do good? What do I celebrate this evening? What could have gone better? By just unplugging, I’m able to put the day to rest by saying good night to all the voices and intrusive thoughts. The chaos of my mind drifts away from me and I’m at peace.
I urge to to find a place to go, to calm the crazy within you. It might be your favorite room in your home, nearby coffee house or a park bench. Let that place nourish your body and soul. Allow it to bring out the best in you. Peace & prayers ✌🏼✌🏼
