What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

I have become a bit of a routine person since having a job these past five years and because I am around people whom I feel need-need-need me all the time both within my job role and at home, when I am at home I need and especially in winter reach for things that make me feel comfortable and help me relax.

Things like:

My Storm Oodie 💜

My Faux Fur Throw 🤍

David’s Pillow when he leaves for work 🩵

The smell of Coconut 💚

Lunch alone in the Sunshine 🧡

Cooking in my Slowcooker 🩷

Playing Scrabble while listening to Unraveled – ABC Podcast before bed 💛

Milo 🤎

The days have been so cold these past few days and the week ahead we are expecting nothing over 15 degrees and rain every day!

Checking my emails and starting my days in bed with a warm Milo is so comforting. I can’t do this every day but when I can get away with it I will..

I love that my home again feels so homey because for a long time it was such a sad and depressing place to be.

I’d also just like to add that my comforts are “things” in this post but I think also I feel comfort in things like these too:

Knowing my family is fed and full 🧡

The house is tidy enough to relax in 🩵

When the bills are all payed 🩷

When I know David has enough sleep for work 💚

The feeling of a hot shower to wash away a crappy day 💜

A job and financial security ❤️

A reliable car to get me to the places I need to be at 💙

Phone and Internet to stay in touch with the people I love 💛

Having a safe and secure home shared with my partner, my kids, our cat and our dog! 🤍

But most of all I am so thankful to God for all the blessings He has given to me in my lifetime and especially for the comfort of knowing I am the daughter of the most high King!
