That's really nice question. By looking at beautiful pictures, it can makes us feel better.
I love to see pictures of nature including cute animals,peacock, butterflies,rainbow, snow, colourful places and all. It really brings positivity and it makes me feel better. Thanks for such amazing posts ❤
@LovetoGod
Those kind of pictures are like food for the soul 
@amiablePeace77
Yeah 😊❤

**The Beach, Ocean.....Lying there in the warm sun, under blue skies, the waves crashing, yet calming at the same time. Seagulls flying by, the water hitting my feet as I walk along the shore.
**Anything that deals with the 'Summer-time', the sun, the breeze, the flowers, the butterflies, the pool, being near the lake or the water, walking my dog....
**And Family~ Being with family.
**Thinking of any of these things, no matter where I am or what I'm doing, are always calming, relaxing, & self soothing~
@PoliteOcean
Wow, this is such an amazing description, it makes you already feel relaxed just reading it 
@amiablePeace77
Awww..... haha.. doesn't it though!??! (And thanks!)....
I love the beach and "Everything Summer"!.... Wish I could live some place where it was summer-feeling all the time. I'm trying to convince my hubby. Maybe one day~ lol
@amiablePeace77
1. ...a place in an undeveloped forest area of a big farm I used to live on. there was peace, dampness, calmness, certain trees gwoing, some fallen more rotten trees, a babbling brook comming out of the ground that later went on in turther areas to be a stream then river, the smelll of the air there, and the serenity.
2. a place off in nature in the mountains near Tennessee. There was lots of variety in the undergrowth of all kinds of things that I was not used to seeig, not being from that area. There were incines and steep areas, where you had to be careful. (I am from a very flat area and this was real nice). There were some of the neatest mushrooms growing wild there, but, I knew to not touch them. There were other kinds of unfamiliar trees to that area, which were so nice to examine in great detail. The canapoy above from all of this was very relaxing also.
@Amelia2324
Both sounds so beautiful, so peaceful, would love to see those places too! Good that you knew what and what not can be touched, some plants are just made to be admired, not to be touched.
i have a few mental images that i use to self soothe! i like to imagine being held and being warm in my girlfriend's arms where i feel safe and i like to imagine laying on a soft fluffy cloud with blankets and pillows
@mobteru
Aww, that's such a sweet visualization! It's amazing how safe and comfy we can feel being touched by a loved one
@amiablePeace77 What mental images help you to self soothe? Can you describe them in detail like for example colors and shapes?
The pic you chose is very soothing. Thanks for sharing that.
@soulsings
Nice you find it calming too soul. I imagine sitting on that bench taking in all what I see.
@amiablePeace77
I really like looking at trees or images of trees. There's just something about them I find very comforting. Also, anything cozy looking, like little cottages, bookcases, coffee shops. Otheres include hiking trailheads, a night with fireflies. Ah, there's so many!
@cafedaydreams trees are wonderful. They convert light to energy. They are truly amazing.
@cafedaydreams
I can relate to feeling comfort amongst trees. A night with fire flies is like magic pure
Hi @amiablePeace77
Mental images that give a soothing feeling are that of a sea. A beach with vastness and infinity towards the horizon.
Something like this.
@alphav7
Thanks for sharing that beautiful picture, it has some special kind of warmth in it.
When I need some peace, I think of trees. I remember vibrant greens of the palm trees back home and the caramel browns in the trunk. When I look up to the sky through the trees, I see twinkles of light through the blinds-like leaves above me.
@TropicalMaple3
Beautifully phrased! I hope you can get home regularly, seems you're living in a different place now?
Thank you so much for reading my response. ♥️ Yes, I’m thousands of miles overseas from home. And I do miss it but I am very happy to just have these memories of moments I cherish especially in times that I could use the serenity.
@TropicalMaple3 glad you are sharing your memories.
Not sure how to describe it but my mental images are songs not visual! When I sing, think of a song, it brings up memories, so sometimes I picture the memory but usually I just picture the song in my head, the words, the notes, the music, playing it, sometimes the images in the music video - music creates soothing "images" for me inside :)
@onwardforevenmore
Seems you have an amazing memory for sounds!
