Hi string_cheese
I wish I could find the words that would instantly bring you a sense of comfort. Comfort or peace are beautiful things to be able to sense. I've heard it said before that peace is the feeling of 'the absence of conflict'.
Personally, I find comfort, contentment or peace (along with elements of joy sometimes) in research. When I'm lost or stressed I tend to research. I like to research mind altering stuff. A couple of authors/speakers whose work I'm researching at the moment are Michael Alan Singer and physicist Thomas Campbell. Both incorporate a balance of logic and natural ability into their lives, something they both teach to others. While pointing to the body's natural and super natural intelligence, they're both very humble instructors in regard to how things can best work for us. Understanding and mastering the mind is all part of the challenge.
Unless we're looking at life in hindsight or through that rear view mirror, we can sometimes fail to see just how far we've come. We can forget about the hundreds of little challenges we've faced on life's paths and how we've managed to progress beyond them. Or unless we view life as 'graduating/rising up through levels of self understanding and self mastery', we can fail to see just how many times we've graduated or risen to new levels. Something I've learned over recent years is...what worked with a lower level challenges will not necessarily work on this level. So, if we're facing a level 20 kind of challenge or what we might call 'a monumental challenge', candles and a warm bath might only soothe and relax us on a level 5 or 15 challenge. There are definitely times where I want to cry while thinking 'Give me a break. Seriously! So now I have to develop level 20 skills or a higher level of understanding when it comes to managing challenge and developing myself?!'. Graduating through life is tough, to say the least. A level 20 challenge may call for candles, a cup of tea in a bath along with an Audible book on how to manage rising through next level challenge. Sometimes I've found that the more complex the challenge the more ingredients that are required for the perfect recipe for growth.
When it comes to being 'a feeler' or 'a sensitive', I've found feeling or sensing what works and what doesn't is another part of life's challenge. If you're feeling what doesn't work, trust in your ability to also get feel what what can or will work. If what you're partly feeling is exhaustion, you could also question what it is you need to plug into, to be able to feel yourself 'in (a state of) charge' again. Inspiration definitely holds a positive charge. It has to be the kind of inspiration we can relate to though, otherwise we won't be able to feel it. ❤️
