A mother shared with me that she has an imagination of talking to an angel.
Real or not. She talks and feels better.
What do you do to comfort yourself?
I like to go outside. Stay curious. Name what is great about my life. Let my tears fall. When I have a stressful situation, I gear up, get it done (a doctor’s appointment) and get myself a small frozen yogurt when it ends. I don’t always make the time for the yogurt. I do let myself know I could have one. Choices ease stress.
You will feel out of control all through life. Knowing you can handle what comes our way truly helps. You forget to remind yourself that you have had worse situations and did the best you could. So remind yourself.
Ask for help. Please. Just do it.
You would love someone who asked for help, so why don’t you think you will be loved? You are human with all your strengths and challenges. A circle of comfort is healing.
What do you think you will practice when stress and sorrow are high?
Share with us.
Take good care,
