Everyone needs a safe haven. There are times when life gets overwhelming. We've all been there. In such moments, it feels like you're going to break down. Some feel like they are drowning is so much.
Life is filled with so many stressors. We are all going about different things, hustling to make money and build a better life for ourselves. The stress can pile up to the point where we just need a safe haven from it all.
A safe haven must not necessarily be a place. It can be a person, it can be a thing, or it can be an activity. In fact, it could be anything. As long as it gives you peace, as long as it's an escape from stressors, as long as it makes you feel safe, it's your safe haven.
My safe haven is movies. I'm a huge fan of movies. I do have overwhelming days often. Days when I just want to disconnect, relax and recover. More importantly, days when I just want to escape problems or at least forget about them. Movies are that escape for me.
Movies have a way of bringing me to another world for a moment. In that moment, I'm engrossed in what is happening in it. I'm fascinated. Scene after scene, episode after episode, I get engrossed. It makes me forget about everything else that may have kept me in an overwhelmed state. You'll be surprised by what a good, captivating movie can do to you.
Most times, when I get home after a hectic day, I just watch a good movie to relax. Sometimes I binge watch, especially during the weekends when I just want to recover from the stress of the week.
It could be sci-fi movie, a thriller, rom com or even action. As long as that move had an interesting plot, I'm delving into it.
Why this is such a safe haven for me is because when you watch a good movie, your mind isn't focused on anything else. You're just focused on the movie. I would be busy trying to figure out what's happening in the movie. This takes my mind away from the problems I'm probably facing in real life. That kind of distraction gives you clarity of mind most of the time.
With a clear mind, I'm be able to figure out how to go about whatever issues are bothering me.
Yeah, I agree that a safe haven does not always have to be a place or person. It was beautifully described, I enjoyed every bit of it.
Have a nice day!❤️
Just like my daughter, she could be in her room all alone watching films like for one week without being board. She loves films and knows their names one after the other.😊
Movies give us the opportunity to live someone else's story even if just for a bit, and to help us forget about whatever mess we have going on at the time.
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY

Reality is tough when we have to face a reality everyday. Escaping into another world can be a rest even for a little while can be beneficial to get our minds from wrestling of a given issue that constantly wears us down. Functionally it can give us a break, step back, a to address the issues from a different fresh perspective.
