Sometimes
we all need a little comfort in our lives. Whether
we just need a little pick me up from a bad day,
or whether we have had a serious loss and need
some warmth and care. A lot of times, we rely on
others to provide the help and comfort we need.
However, there are lots of little things you can
to do make yourself feel better when you need to.
What follows is a list of things that you can do
to make yourself feel better and smile more.
. Fix a pot of your favorite tea, serve it to
yourself in your best china, with a sprig of mint,
and relax while drinking it.
. Fix your favorite "comfort food" from
when you were a child. Whether it was Campbell's
Chicken Noodle soup, or grilled cheese sandwiches,
it is amazing how much that special comfort food
from our childhood can pick us up today!
. Turn off the telephone, lock the doors, run a
hot bath with bubbles, add candles to the sides of
your bath, and put on some soothing music (I
recommend Enya!). Relax in your homemade
"spa" for at least a half hour!
. Call or write to a friend you haven't spoken to
in a while! See what they are up to, and share
with them what has been happening to you.
. Rediscover the lost art of letter writing (snail
mail!). Yes, people do still write letters
sometimes! If you don't have anyone to write to,
find a pen pal group online - there are tons of
them, and you can find many new friends this way
also!
. Treat yourself to a manicure or a pedicure. If
you can't afford a professional one, do one for
yourself at home!
These are only a few ideas that you can use for
some extra comfort in your life. Feel free to make
up some of your own to add to the list as well!
And of course, these aren't always for just when
you need extra attention. You can also do these
anytime you wish, just to smile about it!
