Happy place

[gilded_masquerade]

I’ve always had an issue with thinking of a happy place because I always believed it had to be somewhere you had been to or seen before. So for a long time I didn’t really have one.

Now when I hear certain songs I think of being in a forest when it rains with a cool breeze. The thought of being in a forest away from everything has always drawn me in and the rain has always been so peaceful to me, I spend the majority of rainy days watching it from my bedroom window.

Something about the woods or forests has always resonated with me (maybe it’s because I’m an earth sign 😅🙃) it somehow makes me feel more at home than anywhere else ever has. As for the rain, I like to think that it washes away my inner turmoil and replaces it with a state of solace. Any body of water is calming to be near or see but I don’t know, rain hits differently for me.

I don’t know, being in the forest whilst it’s raining, the thought makes me feel more alive than ever for some strange reason.

Do you have a happy place? If so where or what is it? I’m interested in hearing them.

Hope you’re having a good day/afternoon/night 🤗🖤

Omg I love the earthy smells. Mine is an old barn I can imagine the smell of hay, hear the pitter patter of rain drops on the old wood. Maybe a horse nays and sighs...a gentle breeze makes the little trees crack a little. Put something earthy in the diffuser and put in a little meditation thunder in the background. I remember a time when I was younger and had energy to ride and the feel of the sun in my face. Thanks for the five minute breather!!!

That sounds absolutely wonderful!

And I haven’t thought of trying that, I’ll be sure to now 😌

Anytime at all, I’m glad this helped a bit 🤗🖤

When I go to sleep I listen to waves on my phone, the beach is a calming happy place.

I love the sound of water or thunderstorms when I sleep, it’s so relaxing 😌

My friend told me about it, you put the clock up and you can get night sounds, very soothing. The only thing is my friends husband is deaf mine is not. If he comes up while it is still on, he says he can not get to sleep. Each to his own I expect.😜

I find that some nights I need a white noise machine to get me to sleep because my ADHD just makes me thinks for hours until I tore myself out 😅

But my boyfriend, lucky butthead, literally falls asleep in MINUTES and sleeps like a rock. I on the other hand will wake up at the sound of a pin hitting the carpet in my room.

I’m envious that he can fall asleep that fast and stay asleep through everything 😩
