Comfort foods. Yum! We call them comfort foods because they make it easier to feel warm, safe, and full of goodness.
If that is all that is on our Comfort Menu, weโre going to need to eat a lot. Comfort is an essential need. Our body craves and seeks comfort when overstressed or tired.
What if we extend the menu? What if we have 100 items on it instead of 5 foods we crave?
We start with what we know brings us some comfort. Yes, they may also bring some feelings of guilt. Still, if you turn to them for comfort (and distraction is a comfort), list them out.
Now, explore what else can help you feel more calm. Explore the senses.
What helps you feel calmer when you touch it? A furry friend? A smooth rock? A tree?
What brings more calm regulation of your body and mind when you hear it? Nature sounds? Certain specific songs?
How about smells?
Gentle movementsโฆ yogaโฆ or stillness? (For some, meditation early on is a stretch, outside comfort. After a time, meditations might be right for your expanded menu.)
How about a nap?
Tastes, too, of course. Here, focus on whether the first taste or sip starts you feeling more calm and comfortable. Add those to the list. These can be a bit different from comfort foods, where fullness can matter more.
When we have an extensive menu of what can bring us comfort that leads to refreshment and calm, it is so much easier โ when the time is right โ to add just a bit of activation energy and confidence in order to re-engage with your heartistry.
