Go there in your mind. Then bring it to life.
For me, the best place to be is sitting alone in the middle of the forest as far away from any other person as I can possibly get. It is not always possible for me to do that when I need to, so instead I find myself imagining being there. This helps me feel centered and happy so much better than anything else I have tried.
So, think of where your happy place is. Where do you feel comfortable? What makes you happy? What do you enjoy doing with your time? Your happy place can be anything. It can be a family Christmas party you remember from your childhood, your great grandfather's farm, or a beach filled with ocean sounds and flitting birds, and scuttling crabs.
Think of what you consider to be "a happy place."
Relax your body by sitting wherever you're most comfortable.
Start breathing slowly. Inhale, count to 4 slowly, then exhale. Repeat until your body feels calm.
Now turn your concentration to your happy place.Remain still breathing slowly, think about the symphonies that are going on around you. Listen to the way that your family members are laughing, or take in the scent of the stables. Think about things that you love, and the things that you miss. Continue this process as long as you like.
When you feel ready, discover your true need. Keep your thoughts on where your happy place is, find a part of what is in your happy place that you may be missing today. Figure out a way to bring that feeling into your life. Make a goal today to make your day to day life feel more like your happy place.
