It's nice being back in my comfort zone after 3 days. And it's nice to know I don't have anywhere I HAVE to go for the next 2 weeks. Yay!!!
So what is your comfort zone and what have you done to make it you?
I used to love driving and inside my car was my comfort zone away from home. Which I now realize why it was always so hard for me to leave my car when I was traveling. I could make myself stop, but could not make myself get out of the car. Now I still have the same problem not wanting to leave my car when I'm driving somewhere, but I don't like driving like I used to. And driving through places like Charlotte - my car is no longer a comfort zone either.
My apartment is my real comfort zone and I love that I can do whatever I want with it. I stopped and found some used top kitchen cabinets and put them up yesterday and today I'm going to paint them. Most the pictures on my walls are my own photographs that I've enlarged to poster size and framed. I've even got a couple fake windows with pictures I've taken from Monument Valley. (I'm preparing for senility so I'll walk by these windows and think that's where I am. ) I have many moose figurines, along with cactus, arrows and feathers. Funny I've always decorated with those things and now the cactus, arrows and feathers are IN so it's easy to find stuff. And I actually like that the moose don't go with cactus. My colors are the colors you would find in the southwest US, yet has some western theme mixed in. It all has a comfortable and familiar feel to me. I like what @Autistamatic said in his video and agree that the autism comes out when we're out of our comfort zone. So as important as our comfort zones are - what is yours?
