Home. A place to live, feel secure, be free. Yes. But not the home you sleep in every night.

This home is where you return when you’ve been hurt or damaged. The home where you celebrate your victories and evaluate your future plans. This is the place inside you where nobody else is privy. Where you find unconditional love and regard.

The home inside you is a protected space. Keep it free from people parasites. These are people who would love to enter and feed off of you. Don’t let that happen. This is your home to be your haven and free from disruption.

Top 5 ways to return home, keeping it alive and well for you.

  1. Visit often. Reflection is a time honored activity. Make it pleasurable. It’s important to feel good about visiting because you will visit more often, which is what you need to do.
  2. Make it yours. You make the rules. You change the rules. You can break the rules. This is about you and what you like or don’t like. What you want or don’t want. It should be an expression of who you are.
  3. Feel the love. Allow yourself to wallow in the good feelings from coming home. Embrace all your emotions. Let them guide you to increasing your awareness to more feelings.
  4. Open your fears. Introspection can be scary. You never know what you may find. But everything that makes up you, including your dark side, is worth seeing, knowing, and understanding.
  5. Share your home. Only invite people in when you decide they are worthy. They have to accept you completely and without judgment.

Each of these ways to come home is crucial to the evolvement of who you will and want to be. This is your foundation to a more successful you. When you have a place to call home, it is always there for you; no one can take it away from you. Visit, protect and value your home. It holds the beginning steps for the directions of your life.
