Staying at home with yourself

My friend Lone has the greatest concept / meditation.  She calls it "staying at home with yourself". I highly recommend it, especially when you are feeling sad or confused. The way I do it is I usually go to bed and say to myself, "I'm going to stay home with myself" now. And by that I mean, I'm not going to leave myself or let myself down. And I'm going to be there for myself - no matter what. I find this really helps especially if you have been worrying about what other people are saying, thinking or doing. Then it's really nice to come back home to yourself and find out what you're actually thinking and feeling - and start dealing with that.
