Yesterday, as one of my ideas for ways to ease a stress flare with a “self-care blitz,” I suggested filling your head with “comfort words,” positive, calming words that, if you concentrate on them, can chase away toxic, anxious, or painful thoughts and feelings.

Here’s the short list I posted yesterday:

calm
peace
soothe
soft
open
smooth
relaxed
rested

What can we add?  I’d love to compile a big list of words and make them into a Wordle word cloud that we can all share and turn to when icky things rear their heads.

Please post your word ideas in the comments!
