Hey Everyone,
Today we are going to discuss the idea of comfort and how we are currently obtaining and maintaining comfort in an effort to sooth or deal with our stress, fear and loss. We can use a variety of tactics to comfort ourselves, these include pornography, yelling, substances such as alcohol, marijuana or smoking tobacco to name a few. Others may include masturbation, eating or not eating, isolation or over shopping. If we take an inventory and begin to identify what our skills are for comforting ourselves, we may find that there are better tactics that we can use in place of our current tactics that may be more beneficial for our lives. In other words, some of our "bad" or "problematic" behaviors are nothing more than our efforts to comfort ourselves. If we look back at how we were comforted growing up, we may realize we were not shown how to be comforted in a healthy way. After taking an inventory of what you were shown, and how you have been comforting yourself, decide if you would like to learn a new way to comfort yourself that may be more beneficial to your life and to your relationships. This is idea of examining how we comfort ourselves is an important one to look at and examine.
Take care everyone, and thanks for reading....
