Growth begins in the space between comfort and curiosity.
Take a breather...
This is nothing more than a short 30 second snippet from one our meditation videos that will feature on our YouTube Channel. We call them meditation videos, however, they work well to fall asleep to. They are also quite nice to play when you need to concentrate and focus and we'll be creating some longer videos for that reason too.
We want this to be a community. Please, feel free to comment, share, and chat on on blogs and in the comments section of our YouTube videos. Just please, be friendly, you never know what someone is going through and a comment at the wrong time can be all it takes to ruin someone's day. We are all on a journey, be supportive.
Useful advice?
I am not trying to say that I have life figured out, I'm on a journey like you are, but in my 41 years on this gorgeous planet, I have learned a few things. Never make a decision on a bad day. I once heard someone say their father gave them that piece of advice. So, I stole it and I have lived by it since. If you're in a bad mood, angry, hurting, feeling down, and generally in a megative mindset, don't make a decision. Do not make snap, knee-jerk reactions. When you are in one of those moods or feeling negative, you tend to make bad decisions. Sleep on it. Take time to process and allow your mind to think more objectively. You might still act the same way afterwards, but you'll do so knowing it is the right decision and not something you end up regretting.
Another thing I've learned is to allow yourself to change your mind. Who cares why. If you suddenly think differently or you've found evidence to suggest you were wrong, change your mind. It is liberating! Don't double down and try to prove something, you just look like a fool. You can and will be wrong in this life. Accept it, change your mind, and move on.
Lastly, learn acceptance. I'm sure it has a big part to play in the key to happiness. Accept that things go well and they go badly. Accept who you are. Accept you do things well and accept you do things you don't like. It is only through acceptance that you can gain understanding. When you accept that you act a way you don't like, you can change it. Learn to accept. Also, learn to say 'no'.
About us...
During a hard time in life, I went fishing again. Sitting and sleeping on the bank and surrounded by nature. It gave me time to think. To appreciate life and embrace the tranquillity of being in the moment. There were hard choices to make in life, but ones that would ultimately improve my happiness and wellbeing.
Part of the journey to a happier life has been looking at things with a positive outlook. Being kinder to myself. Being kinder to others, even if they cannot see it yet.
That is where Unfamiliar Comforts has come in. To share some of that and to try and offer other people some words of encouragement and help them to grow, find strength, and gain confidence.
You are enough. You deserve to be happy. This is your life, live it!
