DEPRESSION, SADNESS, OVERWHELMED, PART 3

Don't be scared by the sketch. Tool #3: GO TO YOUR SACRED PLACE
Picture
Sometimes I just have to get away. I have to go where the noise of the city (or the noise in my brain whether it's worry, anxiety, or depression) is covered by peace and love. I have a friend who takes his tent and his dog and heads for the forests. If I need to stop, just stop and breathe, then I must find somewhere quiet. The Temple is my first choice but I can't always go there, so I have alternatives. The ocean and camping are helpful but I can't always go there either. There are beautiful parks near me, a trail along a creek, and a few hiking trails some what near me. Those are my alternatives, just in case. As a child and into my teens, I climbed trees, as high as I could get. I loved climbing trees but they were also my escape places. No one found me there because people rarely look up. It's possible to have a sacred spot at home, too.
Find a special, sacred place for you. Find several.
Tool #3: Go to your SACRED PLACE.

    Marian, that's me!

    I love stories! I love to read fairy tales, fables, stories from around the world. I especially love scifi and fantasy. And I like to write. And watch movies. And play board games. And do theatre things.
