What the HECK is a SAFE SPACE?

What the HECK is a SAFE SPACE? Years ago, I was in a workshop and the facilitator started the meeting by saying "this is a safe space." I did not know what that meant. I was pretty sure that I didn't want to be in it either.

No one can tell you that you are in a safe space. No one can tell you how to feel. Emotions are very important but they have their place. They are not to be ignored but they shouldn't be in control. Our actions will dictate our emotions or our emotions will dictate our actions. It is our choice.

The only person that can make a space a safe space is you. I understand that life brings a ton of challenges that can negatively affect us. I understand this is overly simplistic but, consistently doing the right things will dictate better emotions. Give it a try.
