comfort book (an idea)

Post by angelic212 » Wed Sep 27, 2006 7:43 pm

comfort book A comfort book is something you create for yourself, by pasting or drawing things onto the pages, and writing feel-good messages next to them. It’s a small notebook or sketchbook filled with things that make you feel good:
o a letter from a friend;
o photos of people you love;
o images that make you feel good (you can make colour photocopies of a few pages out of a book, or scan them);
o little cartoons that make you smile, etc.

For feel-good messages, you can write:
o affirmations,
o loving messages about yourself,
o things that you like about yourself,
o things that people you care about like about you,
o or anything you need to hear when you're feeling vulnerable or frightened (like reminding yourself that you're safe).

i will tryy to work on this through out the weekend, usually when we have urges to si or do any other self destructive behavior sometimes it could be because we need comfort and i thought that this might help so i posted thishere .

what have you done differently in your comfort book than in your coping book?
