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

Two simple things: first, I have a rule that I rest for at least half an hour every day. I lie down, meditate, listen to mantras or chill music, and if I accidentally take a nap, it’s all the better. Or to be more precise, a siesta, how we would call it here in southern Europe.

The second thing that helps me feel good every day is not to let myself be pulled down by others. My environment has lately become increasingly pessimistic and prone to drama. So, I shut them out of my mental space. For that, I use my creative side, and the outcome is a quote or poem. At least people’s grumbling and whining are helpful in some other way.
