Being comfortable in my own skin is something I've always struggled with quite a bit. It's probably no surprise that I am on medication to control my emotions/feelings/overall personality -- I've probably even mentioned it before. This week, I was changed to new medication and am now in that 'getting comfortable' stage where I am 'finding comfort' in myself. Of late, there have been a few things that I have noticed myself doing to feel at ease and back to 'normal'. 

I have been driving with my windows down, my music blaring so loudly and one hand out the window at night when I drive home really late. I find it such a soothing experience and a time when I can just forget about everything and focus on the music playing.

Once I get home there are a few things I enjoy doing; I love lighting candles and laying in bed surrounded by lit candles. The smell of a candle while it's burning as well as the smell once you blow it out (that smokey smell) is another soothing experience.

Further, I love putting the rain sound on my iPhone, cuddling under the blankets in warm pj's and reading chapter after chapter of a book.

Lastly, but totally not least, I've got into a habit of drinking a cup of hot chocolate (with lots of marshmallows) while laying in bed. Now that it's winter and the temperature outside drops at night, it's a very nice feeling to come home and drink a hot drink.
