The truth is: most of us don’t grow up learning what “home inside ourselves” even means. We’re taught to earn belonging through others. We find comfort and safety outside of ourselves through people, places, and outcomes. While this can be nice and feel good, it's a bit of a house of cards if we're only relying on the external. Finding a deeper belonging — belonging to ourselves — is something that helps us build a more solid foundation.
What Does It Mean to Feel at Home Inside Yourself?
It’s not a static feeling. It’s a state of relationship with yourself. It looks like:
- Safety in your body — knowing it’s safe to feel what you feel
- Compassion in your self-talk — not turning against yourself when things are hard
- Trust in your inner compass — making choices not to prove something, but to honor truth
- Stillness without needing to fill the silence
- Celebration of your essence — not what you produce, but who you are
- Repair when you abandon yourself — and gently returning
It’s like being your own warm room, where you’re allowed to sit barefoot, messy, and honest — and still be loved.
Let's start with the body this week.
Body Check:
Place your hand over your heart or belly. Close your eyes.
Ask: "Is it safe to be here?"
Ask: “What part feels cozy, strong, and safe?”
Ask: “Where does it feel uncomfortable?”
Ask: “What do you need to soften into this space?”
You’re not demanding an answer — you’re inviting one.
Consider exploring this through our guided cold plunge for trust and clarity.
