Nature. Being in nature calms me a lot.

reading is lovely and so is music while doing something

I’ve created a calming corner at home with soft lighting and a comfy chair where I enjoy reading or meditating to unwind🧘

Yesterday morning I sat on the porch for over 30 minutes and it was so refreshing. It was slightly chilly but the breeze felt amazing on me. I really felt at peace in that short period of time. ♡ This is the kind of weather I love.

Ooh I so adore a quiet, dark room with a cool-temperature setting. Most soothing! And if it's raining outside at the same time?! It gets even better!😇

This has made me realize that I haven't created anything that I can actively think of!
So far I think it is reading in the morning or exercising. But I should actively try to create such an atmosphere

@SoulfullyAButterfly

any memory of my best friend telling me positive things, or thinking about my rats and how cute and clueless they are as they go about their day

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Yeah! ^^

So it was winter and almost night time. It started to snow and my whole family sat together in the living room. We all were doing seperate things but the atmosphere connected us. Usually theres at least one person stressing around and making the others feel stressed out too, but at this moment it as so peacful! ^^ I was reading under a blanket and it felt just soooo cozy! ^^

When I was in highschool when I’d get anxious or panic attacks I’d ask if I can go to the office and the lady upfront would let me help her or walk around with my headphones in while I calmed down I could also stay in the counselor waiting room.

@SoulfullyAButterfly My childhood memories, they calm me in how well I could always deal with everything and still find joy. And of course, remembering the beautiful things I've seen, the wonderful trips I've had, and the comfort of my home when I was little, it calms me. But remembering how it's all gone doesn't let me stay in that state of calm for long. Now the only thing that really calms me is hearing something comforting or encouraging, be it from my mother, teachers, Cups friends, or in the form of music or a youtube video.

Those can be me, alone, in my room, listening to calming music, nature sounds, meditating, deep breathing, and more.

Or just being outdoors in a nice place, as well as bonding with my family.
