Years ago I read about the idea of setting up a cache of special items that would bring me comfort when I needed it. My comfort box is pictured above and the funny thing is sometimes just knowing I have it is enough.
I think everyone should have one. It doesn’t have to be a box. It could be a drawer, basket, or whatever you want. The idea is to fill it with things that will soothe your soul when you are not feeling well or having experiencing a hard time.
Take time to choose a container you love or decorate it in a way that makes you smile. Giving special attention to the creation of your comfort box is like filling it with love. When you feel the need and open it, all of that love and care will be waiting for you.
Popular items to put in comfort boxes include:
- Chocolate (number one on most women’s list}
- Essential oils
- Candles
- Beautifully scented bath products
- Sentimental pictures or cards
- Spa products
- Tea bags in your favorite flavors
- A book that inspires you
- Old love letters
- Inspirational quotes
- A teddy bear
You get the idea. It’s all about what will make you feel better and loving self care.
So, are you ready to give yourself this gift of comfort? Will you take the time to create something special that touches your heart? I hope you do. Someday, you will be glad you did.
