Need a mental escape? Let’s find your Calm Place!

Need a mental escape?

Can’t afford a vacation, but could really use a break?

Let’s find your Calm Place!

Here’s how it works:

-Find a quiet place where you can get comfortable, with limited distractions.

-Close your eyes and try to visualize a place that evokes feelings of peace, safety, and tranquility. This could be a place you’ve been before, or a place you’ve only imagined.

-In your mind, explore the details of this peaceful place. What are the sights, sounds, smells?

What can you touch or taste? Example: Beach (I feel the sand, taste the salty air, and I hear the seagulls and the waves…)

-Notice any positive emotions or sensations that exist for you in this calm place. Do you want to give it a name?

-Practice this technique! The more you use it, the stronger the visualizations will become, just like exercising a muscle at the gym.

-This Calm Place is your tool to use anytime you’re needing to combat stress, anxiety, and other big emotions.
