Confronting The Comfort Fears

What is comfort?  For a lot of people, comfort refers to their home. The family nest needs to be a place where you feel safe and respected. Without going to the length of describing family relationships, a house in which you don’t like to be in is not a comfortable home. It’s a place of unhappiness and stress.  For others, comfort is about being able to afford the things you need in life, from your electricity bills to your grocery shopping. Life is difficult when the money doesn’t last until the end of the month.  And finally, comfort can describe how you feel in your skin. You may not be in love with the person in the mirror, but hating yourself can only make things uncomfortable and isolate you from a healthy social life.  Whichever your understanding of comfort, here’s how to bring it into your life for good.

Home sweet home again

[ctt template=”4″ link=”85uRE” via=”yes” ]Do you have comfort fears? What is comfort? Do you need a more comfortable life at home? How about financial or emotional comfort? Here’s how to bring comfort into your life.[/ctt]

Fall in love with your home again

As a homeowner, your home should be your sanctuary. If there’s one material element you should have an emotional bond with, it’s your home. But if you don’t feel at ease in it, it’s probably time to reignite the love with some clever home improvement works. Old homes tend to get cold as a result of poor insulation or heating system. The temperature can make all the difference between a cold and a cozy living room! Or what if the decor feels old-fashioned? After all, as interior decor is designed to be a visual expression of your personality at a given time, it’s all natural to review your interior regularly. Tastes and opinions change with time, and your decor needs to represent the new you.

Is life just a giant bill to pay?

Here comes the new year, and with it the credit card invoices from the festive seasons and the new energy bills. Let’s be honest: nobody likes paying bills. However, expenses are easier to manage if you’re not struggling to make ends meet. If you’re dealing with debts, you should be looking for fast credit repair options to help your finances to recover. More often than not, it’s as easy as learning to manage your budget. Life is expensive, but with the proper approach, you don’t need to break the bank to make it to the next pay.

Another day, another bill

Stop hating the person in the mirror

It’s difficult to feel comfortable in your own skin. In fact, if you feel insecure, you’d be pleased to know that most adults feel the same way and report it is handicapping in their everyday lives. Nevertheless, you can train yourself to change your self-perception. Self-worth comes from within and doesn’t require validation from your peers. Admittedly it takes a lot of time to develop the self-awareness you need to stop comparing yourself to others. It’s not about recognizing your qualities, but also identifying and accepting your flaws. Not everybody is perfect, and as long as you fight your imperfections instead of embracing them, you’ll never feel happy with yourself.

Who do you see in the mirror?  

A little step at a time can put you in the right direction towards a more comfortable life, at home, financially and emotionally. Every transformation takes time. But it’s not the time you spend on your comfort that is wasted; it’s the time you spend doubting you can change things for the better.
