Humans seek safety. It is the driving need behind almost everything we do. It’s why we take certain jobs, why we stay in certain relationships, why we choose to live in one neighborhood over another.
What is a safe space? These days a common farewell born out of the pandemic is “Stay safe”. That term gets thrown around a lot these days and it seems to be accompanied by a lot of eye rolling. Probably because anyone who has lived in the real world for any length of time knows that safety is an illusion. No one can really guarantee safety. What feels safe for one person can be threatening for another. What feels safe in one moment can quickly change in the next. Sometimes it seems like people intentionally choose high risk or scary things. Maybe because whatever that risk is, it's either worth it or that they’ve become so familiar with it that it no longer feels like fear. The only true safe space exists inside each of us where we have 100% control over the environment.
Today I’d like to share some of the tools that I use on a regular basis to self regulate the day to day exposure to stress, anxiety and uncertainty that are 100% within your control.
