What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

When I think of comfort I think of relief from anxiety. When I experience discomfort it’s usually because of anxiety. Anxiety is a very uncomfortable thing for me physically. I take medication, I exercise, I eat certain foods – sometimes not so good for me, I talk to people, I write, I listen to anxiety talk – down audios on You tube, I talk to God in prayer and just a regular conversation.

2 Corinthians 1:3-7New International Version

Praise to the God of All Comfort

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
