What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?
I’ve been trying to decide what to write about with regards to this topic all day. When my husband played a John Denver album over dinner, I knew the answer to this. The song that always catches my attention is “Back Home Again”. There are days as nurses when the energy in a patient’s room consumes us. When I’ve had a particularly difficult day at work I feel the need to bump up the comfort a few notches. I enjoy the simple comforts of my home. Reuniting with my husband, our wonderful children and our poodle after everyone comes home from their day. The blissful feeling of a hot shower as I wash the hospital off my skin with my favorite evening shower gel the Bath and Bodywork’s Stress Relief. A family meal. I love how my bare feet feel when I slide them on the wood floors. I love the blue glow of the galaxy lamp in our living room and how peaceful our house feels when everyone has retired for the night. I cherish climbing into bed and having that hour or so to myself to pray, read, reflect before it’s time to sleep and do it all again the next day. My days off are different. I Exercise. I Read. I spend time with friends. I find something fun to do. I Cook. It depends on the day.
