a place that gives you an overall view
English term
a mental place of perspective
"It's important not to react without thinking, but instead "to go to the balcony", a mental place of calm and perspective where you can step back and remember what your interests are"
I understand what a mental place of calm is, but not what a mental place of perspective is... Could you please explain the meaning? Thx!!

I do not mean a physical place, but rather the act of thinking over something calmly and viewing it (with your mental eye) from different sides, so as to gain new insights into it.
