‘Just a State, Not My Mind..’


'...Finding Peace in Temporary Refuge’ #Learnedman


At times, we find ourselves compelled to venture into 'there.' But what is this enigmatic (mysterious) 'there' I speak of? 'There' is the sanctuary of safeguarding, the haven of healing, the crucible of correction, the labyrinth (maze) of letting go – it's the place where you shield your mind and heart. What truly resonates with me is that 'there' possesses the remarkable power to unlock the reservoir (pool) of past successes, ultimately crafting a path toward a more favorable future.


Life often throws us into situations that require us to seek refuge, both physically and mentally. These moments are not permanent states of mind but rather temporary pauses in the journey of life. So, how can we find peace in these temporary places of protection? Here are four ways to go 'there' peacefully:


Embrace Mindfulness:

Being 'there' starts with being present. Practice mindfulness to fully engage with your surroundings and emotions. Take a moment to appreciate the temporary haven you find yourself in. Breathe deeply, observe your thoughts without judgment, and let them pass like clouds in the sky. By grounding yourself in the present moment, you can find peace within 'there.'


Reflect on Past Successes:

'There' is an ideal place to draw inspiration from your past accomplishments. Remind yourself of the challenges you've overcome and the victories you've achieved. This reflection can boost your confidence and remind you that this too shall pass. You've faced adversity before and emerged stronger; 'there' is just another stepping stone in your journey.


Seek Support:

You don't have to navigate 'there' alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a support network. Sharing your thoughts and feelings can be incredibly cathartic. Others may offer insights or simply lend a compassionate ear. Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and it can make 'there' a more peaceful place.


Set Short-Term Goals:

While 'there' may not be your final destination, it's still essential to have a sense of direction. Set short-term goals that are achievable within this temporary state. These goals can give you a sense of purpose and progress, making 'there' feel less like a standstill and more like a stepping stone towards your next adventure.


As I close, 'there' is not a permanent state of mind; it's a temporary refuge we all visit at some point in our lives. Finding peace in this place of protection is about embracing the moment, drawing strength from your past, seeking support, and setting goals. Remember, 'there' is just one stop on your journey, and with the right mindset, you can emerge from it stronger and more prepared for what lies ahead.


Just want to keep this thing called #life - SIMPLE! Remember to stay #Positive, #Plugged and #Present. #Learnedman
