Portable Comfort

I ran into a great article on Open-Mind.org on healthy ways to comfort yourself in times of anxiety. Their suggestions include:

*carry things in your pockets
*wear a necklace that makes you feel strong or good or happy
*bring along a comfort book
*bring some small vials of essential oils, or some smell that makes you feel good
*bring a MP3 player, CD player, or walkman with you


Notice how many of these suggestions are applicable to Catholic spirituality. Carry a rosary, wear a medal, read the Office, smell some incense, listen to some chant.

    I keep stuffing my pockets with printouts folded in 8. I feel like I'm carrying a piece of my home...
    Weird, isn't it ?

    Renaud,
    What is it that is on your printouts?

    The rosary is a great way to relax for me. I have to watch out when I say it while driving though! :0
