Feeling Down? Try This.So would anyone like to take home a few of these 8 dozen cookies I made? Jokes. Honestly though, I have felt some very deep sadness in these past few months. I don't really like sharing the dark stuff and always want to keep my pages happy and positive and silly. But I think it's really important that you know I'm human too.
When grief becomes overwhelming and I feel like I can't make myself do anything, I bake. I tried this for the first time a couple weeks ago because I was tired of just sitting and staring and bawling. And suddenly a thought popped into my head. Bake cookies. I'd never done it before. On my own, at least. So I decided to listen to that little voice. And as I cracked eggs and laid out parchment paper and mixed the ingredients all together, my soul stilled. I felt okay. I could breathe and think about something else outside of me. This has now become my go-to for those heavy, difficult days. Two days ago, I made brownies. I know this strategy works too because I get a sweet treat to reward myself for getting through and feeling and processing and healing. Trust Lupin's advice: "Eat, you'll feel better."
