This is one of those duhhh observations that's been made approximately half-a-dozen times before on this very blog, but I was reminded of it again, and feel like I should put it into words once more.
I realize I'm not in my apartment quite often, and like...not being in my place. And traveling, going on road-trips, being mobile generally.
One could take that to mean that maybe I don't necessarily need my own personal space to feel comfortable, and can be at home at any place, quickly.
Turns out that's not true. I do need the control of my own domain, have things be my way, and basically spend considerable time all by myself in my own space. To put it differently, if I want to be productive and get things done, and be positive about the world, I need my own space. And that space needs to be under my control, not ....foreign...managed, if I may say so.
Discovered this after sharing my space with the boys a bit recently.
And the way to feel at home in my space is to start with my rituals to feel home every day, even if things aren't in my control. The prentension of being in control, just the act of it provokes a series of action that inspires you to take control of things, it turns out.
Interesting psychology, right?
