Mental Room
Imagine your ideal workplace, studio, room, etc. and write it in enough detail to feel there, creating, whatever it is you would like to make as a creative person. This theme is based on a fairly well-known relaxation technique... controlling your own space... but also on visualization theory which suggests if you build it mentally, it will surface, at least in key aspects, as a functional environment.

The Space/s

Quiet, with the tranquil sounds of rain, storms, water, rivers, the ocean. Windows to let in cool calming light. Books and the smell of knowledge and other worlds. A cool atmosphere to snuggle into blankets and wear warm sweaters in. Curtains to darken the space and warm lamps of different shapes scattered round the room to bring in light when the natural isn't around. Spots to sit cross legged on windowsills, or to work at desks in soft, hard or rocking chairs. Sweet and quite piano music. The space decorated to present a part of life. Vines and plants hanging and filling the space, or the ocean painted across the walls with soft and light woods, or the dramatics of fantasy worlds with dragons and mythical creatures inhabiting the celling and its artwork, or an old English styled library with dark woods and cold stone walls to keep you protected. Coffee and blankets freely accessible. Trinkets and special books lining shelves. The books and quotes of authors who had gone before. These are the spaces I wish for.
