What physical place, person or thing gives you power?

I'm very lucky in that we live on the beach in County Cork, Southern Ireland. It's a fabulous place that helps me reconnect to the power of nature and instantly restores my inner peace.

When I was working in the corporate world, my executive job would be away from home every week and whilst I enjoyed meeting new people and seeing fantastic places, I missed home a lot. Of course I missed my family, but I would also have an almost physical ache to get back to the peace and serenity of the beach where I find so much quiet power.

To help me, I developed the trick of collecting stones from the beach and taking them with me on my travels, I would use them in moments of stress and overwhelm, to reconnect to my place of power and restore feelings of calm.

What could you use to reconnect to your place, person or moment of power? When things get tough, these small tricks can make a big difference to alter ourr mood, our feelings and therefore our reality.
