On my trip to Oregon to visit my sister and her family I watched her dogs play their version of tag. Riley and Tucker would chase each other, play fight and dodge each other until the smaller dog Riley needed a break. Riley would run to the same tree over and over again and when she did Tucker would run over and wait for Riley to run away from the tree. He never followed her, he would just wait for when she was ready to play again. The tree was "base" if you played tag you remember sometimes playing with a safe base well Riley has a safe tree.
This reminded me that we all need a place we feel safe and comfortable taking a break from everything going on around us. If you don't have a safe place in your house it is time to make one. There are different place you can do this for many women this can be the bathroom, for many men it is their man cave. Whatever the name and no matter what the size make sure you have somewhere to go that you feel good about.
Homework: Take the que from Riley and spend sometime today enjoying quiet time in your safe place!
