A contemplative and quiet mood can inspire you to look for a spot to mull over the many thoughts and feelings consuming your attention today. You may become frustrated, however, if you search and search for a pleasant, inspiring space to call your own but find nothing that corresponds with your needs. Consider that the refuge you seek may not exist, and you may need to create it using the spaces and possessions at your disposal before you can lose yourself in introspection. You will likely discover how profoundly your environment has affected you today once you have settled into the stillness of your own private sanctuary.

We can create sanctuaries that help us attain a state of blissful inner calm by remaining ever aware of the manner in which our environments are affecting us. If we allow our spaces to become cluttered with possessions or stagnant energy, our minds and souls will become cluttered with detritus as a result. Conversely, when we fill strategic areas of our homes and workspaces with calming and uplifting artifacts, ensuring that energy can flow freely through them, we can feel ourselves opening up energetically. Even if we have nothing more than a corner of a room to ourselves, we can make it our own by turning it into a refuge in which we are encouraged to reflect upon life and contemplate the futures we hope to build. A quiet sanctuary is within your reach today, but you must build it to ensure it meets your soul\'s needs.
