THAT PLACE

yogamat That place, which maybe isn’t this place in the photo above, for you. Maybe your place looks completely different. We all have one, some of us have a few and some of us maybe haven’t found it quite yet. It’s that place where you feel most at home, most joyful, content and whole. Maybe it’s a calming place, that resets your day, a comforting place that makes you feel safe and secure, maybe a fun place that brings joy into your day, or an inspiring place that makes your creative juices flow?

I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘that place’ and where it lives in my daily life. I realized I have a few different spots where I feel totally in my element, but three really big ones that stand out everyday. One of those is anytime I’m with my people, it is a safe, secure and an extremely joyful place. Being on my mat (the one above also happens to be metallic gooooold) because it’s calming, humbling, and it gives me strong solid roots for the rest of my life. And when I’m creating, because that fire in my belly is inspiring and I know I am fully in my element.

family I have really been focusing on the small parts of each “place” the tiny little moments that make up the whole she-bang. And I’ve been trying my best to spread those tiny bits around the rest of my daily life, try my best to make my entire day feel a bit more like THAT PLACE (I’ve said it too many times, I know). There are small things that make up or help create those places in my life that make me feel whole and happy. Small things that I try to carry with me when I find them, that make the rest of my time exponentially more wonderful and hopefully give me more strength to fight through the inevitable hardships.

Is there a place where you feel totally free, maybe it’s something as simple as reading a book? I’m not really talking that glass of wine at the end of a hard day sorta place, that is a different (yet also very enjoyable) place. But is there a moment where you feel most like yourself and you are able to just let everything else go? What are the little parts that make up those moments?

What is “That Place” for you?

*It’s been a while since I went all Dear Diary on you, I’m always unsure about hitting publish on my DD posts. This past month has been one that was truly filled with life for us, birthday’s, new babies and a few too many goodbyes. All of it, has really made me stop and look at all the tiny moments so much more closely, and sometimes a good old word vomit all over the blog is just in order.

SHARE IT, I DARE YOU!

    I have recently begun practicing yoga! I started a challenge: to do 30 days straight of yoga, and see how I liked it. So quickly my place has become my mat as well. A great time for me, feeling whole, strong, confident.

    This post has really woken me up to the fact that I need to create beautiful spaces and places around me. My husband and I recently moved to the San Diego area and started from scratch after two years of traveling and teaching abroad. Now, we’re building our lives back from the ground up. With little money and expensive prices in SD, I’ve told myself, "I don’t have the money to make any beautiful spaces! " But that’s so not true. This post is really giving me the impetus to make simple, beautiful spaces even if I don’t have the means to provide myself a luxurious space to find my peace and calm. Thank you 🙂

    I sat here trying to think of what ‘my place’ is, and there are a couple. Two that I could think of are a) when I’m laying on the couch on a lazy afternoon with a good book and a cup of tea, and b) at night when the house has settled down and I’m curled up on the couch with my partner settling in for our nightly TV watching. So peaceful, calm, and comforting.
