Now when I sit down at the computer, I bring a different intention when I enter a Zoom room for a Kirkridge Circle of Trust® mini-retreat than when I go online for a board meeting. That knowing serves me well as I spend more and more of my days in Zoom rooms and other online spaces. And it has taught me a lot about creating space by reminding me that the bedroom doesn’t change, but my intention for being there shapes my experience and allows me to be present in different ways. In these days of staying at home in order to be safe in the pandemic, the bedroom has become my living room of choice. It is the room that reflects the Beauty I love. On all days it is my safe haven with flowers in every season and birdfeeders in the windows and favorite books at the bedside. Some days it is my reading nook some days it is my office some days it is my entertainment center and/or the spot for eating some delightful treat. My bedroom has always been my nest, my place of comfort and reflection and renewal. These so-called experts insist that anything else we do in the bedroom serves no other purpose than to distract us from sleep. Some sleep experts insist that the key to maximizing the efficiency for sleep is what you associate your room with – and they recommend one or two purposes only: sleep and maybe romance. They even go so far as to admonish that, if we use the bedroom for other things, we’ll have difficulty sleeping. I’ve never agreed with the so-called experts who tell us that the bedroom is only for sleeping.
