Previous posts on strategies to increase comfort

I would like to look back at two of my favorite posts (in this blog). The posts are on strategies to increase comfort.

The first of the two identified things that provide comfort, such as air conditioning (A/C) and music. I completed that post in about 3 minutes. 

I think my mind/brain continued to ponder things that provide comfort. Later, it became clear to me that the scarf I wore when at rehab (which was right after my hospital stay and needed to walk normally again) provided comfort. The bulky scarf may have signaled to others that I find the indoor temperature too cold. I just felt like wearing it because of deep meaning.

I sucked my thumb as a child. I believe that was related to comfort.

Strategies To Increase Comfort In Daily Life

While taking a break from working on a paper for publishing, I decided to respond to today's prompt in Wordpress. See responses to the Wordpress prompt for 7/12/2023 here: https://wordpress.com/tag/dailyprompt-1994.

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

I read this question and immediately thought of air conditioning. In the summer, air conditioning provides much comfort, especially on 90 degree days like today (It is 1:38pm and it is already 89 degrees fahrenheit). Unfortunately, we are currently dealing with an AC issue.

Sometimes I listen to music, which provides comfort. When I feel stressed, music could be the stress reliever. Music also relaxes my mind.

Reading a good book can also provide comfort. Reading the Bible is supposed to provide comfort. A simple Google search will provide verses for or about comfort - https://www.google.com/search?q=bible+comfort. 

One of the most important things is to get a good mattress. Everyone needs a good night’s sleep (comfort at night). Your day is more likely to be miserable if you did not get a good night’s sleep.

Comfort also makes me think of hospitals and the nurses who ask, "Are you comfortable? I could move the pillow...." Simple changes (such as moving the pillow or covering your legs) or a drink of water could bring comfort in the hospital.
