DIY: How to make your own comfort box.

A comfort box is a very simple DIY, if you feel like you need comfort most of the time when you're alone a recommend it to you to try and make a comfort box.

Take a small, or big box and fill it with anything that gives you comfort, easy right? If you know you get comfort from hugging a pillow, put a small pillow in your comfort box.

Don't know where to start? here are a few idea's.

  • Stuffed animals/pillows to hug.
  • a blanket.
  • Your favorite book or poem.
  • Your favorite over sized t shirt.
  • tissues. 
  • Nail polish (it is optional, but I fin painting my nails very calming) 
  • a journal and pen to write down all your thoughts and emotions of the moment.
  • comedy films or TV series ( NO TV series/films that will make you sad, which I used to do a lot of the time which would get me even in a worse mood then before).
  • Drawing material
  • a CD with your favorite playlist (Happy songs, songs which remind  you of something good, maybe songs that will remind you of something good about the past that made you happy).
  • scented candles.
  • A bubble wand to blow bubbles and distract yourself a bit ( it may sound silly but when you feel terrible weird stuff like a bubble wand can make you so happy).
  • body lotion with your favorite scent.
  • pictures of your favorite people, or good memories.
  • Tea (works always for me).
  • a stress ball ( doesn't always work that well if your stressed but it's fun to play with once you calmed down a bit)
  • encouraging notes and letters you get from loved ones.
  • a jar filled with your favorite uplifting quotes.
  • Your concert tickets
  • Old postcards that cheer you up.
  • Glitter.
  • Play-do
Beside this kind of comfort box you can also make a food comfort box with your favorite chocolate and any sweets and candy you like!

What is something you wouldn't want to miss in your comfort box?
