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?

Positivity around the internet.

We all have these moments when we we're just done, when insecurity's could eat you alive. And most of us still have these moments. It sucks, but that's just how life is. Everyone has their insecurity's and everyone feels bad sometimes. We're humans, no one is perfect. If you're going through a rough time right now, keep going. Because time will pass, and while times passes life will get better. I promise you, how cheesy and not helpful it may sound, it really does get better.

When I don't feel okay, I tend to isolate myself from the entire world. I lock myself up in my room, or go for a walk all by myself. And these things are okay, they sort of help. You could try it yourself, go outside for a walk.

And if these things don't help and you don't feel like moving, I am here to help you!

I found some websites which are so helpful, I have used them myself. Just give it a go and go along with it, you won't regret it.

• If you're looking for a quiet place this is where you need to be. 
• If your thoughts are getting too much to handle go to the the thoughts room and get rid of them.
• If you want to escape 'your world' for a moment go a couple through The secret door. 
• If you want to relax but you just can't, have a guided relaxation.
• If you're looking for distraction this will help for sure, just find out for yourself what it is.
• If you just need a hug , this is your place to be. 

Do you feel better already? I hope so! If you feel like saying something, you can always leave me a comment, right under this post!

Much love, let me end with this adorable gif!

Spreading love with "Give Back Films".

So I am a little sick at the moment and decided to stay home today. I was wandering around YouTube to kill the time. Being sick isn't the most fun thing, especially not with this amazing weather outside. It is so damn sunny, I just wanna go outside and enjoy it.

Anyways, I discovered this YouTube channel called 'Give Back Films'. The name made curious, so I watched some videos. They have 13 video's at the moment but they have over a 300.000 subscribers which is a lot! So this guys literally give to people, things like money to homeless people. What they do is providing stuff for people which costs money, and you can also donate money to them so they can make this video's.

This one was my favorite video, watch 'till the end to understand why I liked this one!

Now the videos are very uplifting and cute, and I loved watching it. And on one side I do love the idea's they come up with. But on the other side, do you really need money to "give back". 

What do you think?

"The bad news? Everything ends. The good news? Everything ends."

This quote is straight up honest, and so freaking true. It doesn't matter how bad life gets, it doesn't stop so you could feel better again. It goes on, it always will and it always have. So when something bad is happening, I always keep in mind to that it isn't forever. And weirdly enough it helps.

But it doesn't mean you need to wait for life to get better, because every minute you didn't spend being happy is 60 seconds of lost happiness that you won't ever get back.

The thing is, life goes on. How stupid it may sound, it is true. And it took me actually a couple years to realize.

And since then I realized something else, if something bad is going on in your life, stay strong, because it isn't going to be forever. And if life looks good for you, enjoy it as much as possible and appreciate it. It won't be forever. Good and Bad things are a part of living, if there are no ups and downs you're dead (think about it).

Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow, without a little rain.

What defines you?

TED, which means Technology, Entertainment, Design, is a meeting, 4 days long. Motivational speakers get invited to give a maximum 18 minutes presentation of their life. They talk about something they think is interesting, or a project or just simply something they think other people need to know about. I love to watch them myself, they give me inspiration.

So I want to tell you about this young woman named Lizzie Velasquez. Lizzie has this syndrome that, besides her, one other person in this world has. So it is a syndrome we don't know much about. But she basically doesn't gain any weight. So she's super skinny, and she can eat whatever she wants without gaining weight. Lizzie got named "the ugliest girl alive for being that skinny. People all over the world told her to kill herself. But she decided not the let her syndrome define her.

So at TED she spoke up about how she turned all this negativity in her life around, and let it make her stronger.

Enjoy.
