Introspection as a choice. Patient reflectiveness. Inner sustenance. Allowing your imagination to feel like a refuge to you and not viewing it as a distraction or a possible enemy. Embracing daydreaming and vulnerability for what they are. Maintaining your hopes without letting them turn into wishful thinking. Carefully guarding your privacy. Retreating to your own world and feeling safe and wonderful there without translating that as escapist tendencies. Developing a soul commitment to what matters to you on an individual level.
