My list of 21 comforting things

On this cold winter day, relax and think about and do things that comfort you. Get all warm and cozy. Brew that cup of tea. Curl up on your comfy couch. Get out that book, magazine, or journal. Just be. Dream. Ahhh……..

My list of things that give me comfort:

  1. My old fleece  unicorn blanket that I have had since college (a very long time ago now)
  2. My soft green bathrobe
  3. Making soup!
  4. lit candles
  5. crackling fire in fireplace
  6. Cinammon sticks, cloves, and apple slices in water simmering on stovetop
  7. Good coffee or tea
  8. Warm milk
  9. My fuzzy socks
  10. Having my cats, Patches and Mew close by
  11. Having my fiance close by
  12. Smiles and hugs
  13. A good movie
  14. watching the antics of birds and squirrels on feeders and bird bath in back patio
  15. Poetry
  16. Gentle stretching
  17. Sunshine filtering through the window
  18. Soft jazz music
  19. Thinking about all the good I do and all the good that I Am
  20. Thinking of all the good people out there and all of the good that they are doing
  21. Knowing that this world isn’t so big after all: we have more in common with each other than differences, we are really not ever alone.

With love,

Winding Down

Many of us after a day of work, getting the family fed, catching up on a few household chores, paying the bills, bathing kids etc. are ready for some down time before going to bed. What kind of activities do we choose? Watching the evening news? Watching movies with a lot of excitement and violence in them? Playing video games? Catching up on emails?

Instead of participating in anxiety inducing activities, we can try activities such as these instead:

  1. reading something heartwarming or inspirational
  2. reading something fairly mindless and relaxing like a magazine
  3. do a puzzle
  4. play scrabble
  5. crochet, knit, scrapbook
  6. write: creative writing, writing in a journal, writing letters
  7. meditate
  8. gentle yoga
  9. easy evening stroll
  10. take a bath
  11. listen to soothing music
  12. play with your cat or dog
  13. draw, color, or paint
  14. play an instrument
  15. slow dance with your spouse or partner
  16. give and receive a massage with your partner
  17. make love
