Hack 127 – Snuggle with Something

If you are like many people, as a child you had a little pillow or a security blanket that got you through the night. As an adult facing a crisis, you may wish you had something tangible like that to give you comfort. If you don’t have a favorite blanket or pillow, look in the linen closet and see if there’s a comfy throw, a worn afghan, or a silky coverlet you could use. Or go to the clearance table at your local department store and pick out something that could become a new favorite security blanket. As a child, you loved your blankey because it was yours and only yours. It had your scent on it. You knew what it felt like and looked like even with your eyes closed. The next time life is not going your way, seek comfort in what’s familiar and what makes you feel safe—wrap yourself in your blanket and let your inner child feel safe and comforted.
