Soul Asylum

The home is your corner of the world, an insulation chamber between the outside world and your private life. But sometimes we need more than that, a place where we can be truly by ourselves without the interruption of family and surrounded by only the objects that have meaning to us personally. I have always believed in this, but most recently I came to understand it at a much deeper level.

Some times life hands you problems that can take years to get though and to truly understand why they are happening. Such a place not only promotes a feeling of safety and relaxation where you can unwind but also inspires creativity.

Create a space, preferably your own room, or at least a section of room, that awakens your senses and celebrates the simple pleasure of sanctuary for creativity. Paint the walls a soothing tone to calm the sense, invest in an overstuffed armchair to curl up in or get a thick rug to stretch out on the floor. Surround yourself with your favorite books, photographs, and artwork. Diffuse your favorite essential oil or light a candle for ambiance. This is the perfect place for reading, writhing, or simply reflecting.

Keep your thoughts positive,
   because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive,
   because your words become your behavior.

Keep your behavior positive,
   because your behavior becomes your habits.

Keep your habits positive,
   because your habits become your values.

Keep your values positive,
   because your values become your destiny.
