One of the things that I observe know matter where I am, is how people, addicts, other peers appear not to have adequate space in their lives or actually thoughts. What is space in this sense? Well, space is important for self to define when they are feeling trapped, isolated, or not in a healthy situation with their thoughts. Each person needs to have boundaries, your therapist, counselor, or any other helper will tell you this. However, before you can have boundaries, you need to determine what space is needed for you to be able to make healthy boundaries. This writer views space as that creative, safe, comfort zone that self is able to recognize and implement when negative energy arises. If you are going to make a boundary, you better make sure you know what type of space is needed to insert. For example, if you are struggling with your addiction, and you know that a certain environment or activity will lead you to relapse, you need to have space in your mind that will allow you to think things through, and be able to set a clear boundary that will assist you in your recovery. Space can be defined in your mind, as when you have a thought, and that thought becomes an urge or craving, you need to create a space between the thought and reaction, and let that thought go! When you get into an argument with your significant other, what do you do? React, and let that negative energy manifest? Think about what you were going to say in the heat of the battle, then, take a breath, and slowly develop a space for you, and begin to let the thought go. When you are able to let spaces in your thoughts, you will be able to react in a controlled, healthy, and non-impulsive manner. Remember, when we let our impulses dictate our decision making, we are not staying in our health, or in the moment. The space that we need is currently being absorbed with negative energy, and our positive energy is not being used. Sometimes space can be that distance between a negative thought and a positive thought. The trick is to create space into your negative thinking, and allow the space to give you a respite. You will channel the negativity in a positive thought, while setting appropriate boundaries that will allow you to stay in your health. Your mind can control anything you want it to; use it to your advantage. Addiction, conflict, arguments are only thoughts that get bigger, and lead to unhealthy behavior that become an unmet need. Just think, if you can figure out how to give self space in your mind, you will be able to control that urge, craving, or impulsive behavior by letting that negative thought go, and move onto a positive thought which allows you to stay in the moment! Give self space, it will give you confidence and assist you in your battle with addiction and help you with your interpersonal relationships. Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
