How To Find Comfort When Dealing With Crisis

When you are experiencing a crisis, it can often feel like the pain, sadness, and anxiety of the crisis will never end. But this isn’t true. You will eventually find relief from your crisis. In the meantime, while you are dealing with whatever has happened in your life, below are some ways you can work to find comfort.

Spend Time In Nature

Nature has amazing powers when it comes to relaxation and healing. And being in nature can remind you about how beautiful and special life is—even when you are going through a dark time. It’s even better if you spend time being active in nature—by taking a walk or picking up an outdoor hobby like gardening. Presenting yourself with a nature-based challenge, like a difficult hike, can also help you to restore faith and confidence in yourself while also being exposed to the healing powers of nature.

Enjoy Comforting Smells

Did you know there are several scents that signal to your brain that it is time to relax? It’s true. Thought the scents that you find relaxing may be different than someone else’s, so find the scents that you find relaxing to you, then place them around your home in the form of candles, soaps, or even incense. If you aren’t sure where to start, try lavender, rose, vanilla, and cinnamon and look into getting an essential oil diffuser.

Listen To Music

Listening to music can be a very comforting thing, if it’s the right type of music. You should try to find music that doesn’t remind you of the crisis that you are going through—even if it means you need to find music without lyrics. Like with the scents, this is something else you can experiment with and find what music helps you to feel the most comforted. Music is also a great help when it comes to needing to feel positive first thing in the morning, so hop out of bed and crank those tunes as you start your morning routine!

Talk To Yourself

People under estimate the power of self-coaching, especially following a crisis. Remember to talk to yourself with love, respect, and to only say positive things. For those that aren’t sure where to start with self-talk, it can be helpful to make a list of all the things in life that you are good at, and then talk to yourself about those things.

Keep A Journal

In addition to self-talk, when you are in a crisis you need to find a healthy way to discharge your emotions. And one of these ways is through keeping a journal. Writing about your feelings each and every day can help you to work through them, know what your triggers are, then eventually overcome the negative feelings. For best results, you should journal each and every day, preferably at the end of the day before you go to bed. But you can also journal in the morning before you start your day if this works better for you and your schedule. Try to journal for 10-15 minutes every day.

When you are in a crisis, it can be easy to feel and think as if you will never experience comfort again, but this isn’t true. You can find comfort in many small things in your life, from nature, to music, or even your favorite scent. And if you start positive habits like keeping a journal and positive self-talk in your life, you will feel comforted and you will be on the path to overcoming your crisis in no time at all.
