Outline
Self-love and self-care habits.
Creating a personal workspace for focus and productivity.
- Kelly’s friend, Caren, has a special workshop/nest in her bedroom for reading, praying, and meditating.
- Developing a "workshop" or "nest" for focused work can help individuals establish a safety zone and signal to others when they are in work mode.
- Working from home can be tough so Kelly shared a story of one person who uses a signature baseball cap to signal to his family that he is working. When the cap comes off, he's ready to become dad and husband.
Creating a safe space for personal growth.
- Kelly suggests that you create a safe space in your home by setting up a candle, special water bottle, journal, pen, blanket, and talisman (heart-shaped rocks or seaglass) to signal to your mind, soul, and body that you are there to work and invest in yourself.
- Kelly believes that all of us need a safe space like this to grow and become better versions of ourselves.
- Kelly shares her nest is a big comfy white chair where she has an afghan or prayer shawl her mother gave her. She keeps her books there, a blanket and an extra pair of glasses.
Creating a safe space for self-reflection and personal growth.
- If you cannot find a safe space for self-reflection and stillness in your home, consider trying to rent a room in a library or ask your pastor for a safe space at your church.
- Make it a habit to use this place for these times of reflection and stillness.
