“Being Comfortable in your own skin”  (Women)

QUOTE: “If we are happy within ourselves, we don’t accept or demand that our partner should fulfill every need. We need to be comfortable with our own company.”~ Nathaniel Branden, PhD

2. Positive DIS-Comfort

3. POSITIVE COMFORT (cont.) ➕➕
More def: “Emotional comfort is a composed of pleasant positive feelings, a state of relaxation, & an optimistic approach to life where a person feels happy & their mood is high in spirits. Emotional comfort is also associated with less physical dis-comfort.”

Kanishka Patil , Calcutta : “The state of psychological comfort is one of the powerful states in which the mind exists, transcending its positive effect on the other spheres of life. It’s when you experience the free flow of self-confidence, which lets you drive more initiatives at the workplace, engaging in deep emotional investments, announcing bold decisions & taking riskier bets but much needed ones you always doubted.

You are the intrinsic source of energy, radiating positivity in the extrinsic layers…..One has to achieve the state of comfort first, & later cherish whatever comes or doesn’t come the way. Source of power is shifted from ‘externalities’ to ‘oneself’, hence, making the state just a function of “you” and nothing else.” (More….)

INNER COMFORT is protected & maintained by healthy attitudes & actions. The goal is to live well, to the best of our ability ODAT (one-day-at-a-time) – never to seek perfection, since it does not exist.  It is liberating, allowing many other wonderful opportunities & relationships to occur.
