A Forgotten Zone
It’s unbelievable how much people can affect the way that you feel in an environment. If they’re great people then you feel good and you want to stick around but If they’re not then it makes you want to get away as quickly as possible.
Regardless of whether the physical environment changes or not the strength that people’s influence seems to have on you can become unbearable. So how do you escape it?
You need to create a ‘me zone’, a place that is for you and all about you. It should be a place in which you do the things that you need to do for you in order to regenerate and should be a place that you venture into each day. You cannot pour from an empty cup, you cannot give to others what you do not have for yourself.
Getting back into an old habit is one of those things that can help you to feel more like yourself e.g. reading, writing or running are definitely some of the most common habits that people fall away from but they are each a way to escape the world for a while.
If you do have something that you've let go of or even if you don't, find a way to try something new each week, whether it be a piece of food or venturing around a whole new area. You may find something that makes you feel more like yourself than you ever have before!
