Sometimes it’s just the simple things in life. Often it is associated with pleasure and gratification, like a coffee and your favourite biscuit (Colombian roasted ground beans and a fig roll). Something that just has a simplicity but feels so good.
Same with favourite items of clothing. I know, as I write this currently dressed in my board shorts, my favourite ‘Jaws’ t-shirt, and a pair of Vans that have long out seen their lifespan. This is what brings me comfort in the same way pyjamas or a robe does for others.
The thing is it’s about not over complicating, because the simplicity reminds us we don’t need to over complicate or over indulge to feel good. The same applies when we face difficult times, we just need a simple reminder that we can get through. No grand gestures or throwing lots of time and energy at a distraction. It’s about finding something in the every day that reminds of who we were. Who we truly are, when we’re not ‘up against it’. We have the ability to come out the other side. To comeback from whatever we have to deal with.
Even better than this, when we ‘comeback’ from places and times we’d rather leave, then we always comeback stronger. Why? Because we’ve survived. It can be looked at as another challenge on our journey - even a quest, depending on the circumstance. We always survive, and we alway grow. We’re bigger, badder, stronger and better than anything that comes our way. But only if you accept that you are. However, believe me when I tell you one thing - you’ve already done it before and because of that you’re more than equipped to do it again, for as many times as you need. Because there will always be board shorts, your favourite t-shirt and a thread bare pair of vans to be slipped on and enjoyed for yet another day.
The comeback is always stronger than the setback…
