A while ago, I made a breakfast casserole and spaghetti bake for my parents, so my mother would not have to cook for a week. Although it was good and appealling, this made me think about every time I cook. When my emotions are happy, I cook the most amazing things and the aroma fills the room. When my emotions are off, my cooking tastes how I feel. I once bake some brownies with a broken heart, I burnt them and remade them. The second batch was still horrible. So, I stopped cooking and started eating. This made me have more stress and my emotions started to dictate what I ate. I put on pounds and made some choices that changed my life. These choices left me feeling out of place. My emotions took over and there was nothing I could do.
I started to step back and start over. Re-inventing yourself is a journey a person has to take sometimes. I thought it was about finding myself, but found it to be so much more. I had to undo myself and take a mindful journey. To find out who I am, I had to readjust my surroundings and see my picture instead of others. I had placed others in my life that was only supposed to be there for a season. Sound familiar?
So I changed the way I thought about myself. I seeked a little outside help and changed my mindset. I no longer think about what others think rather think about how it would help my growth. I can only change what I can change. I can’t keep thinking about what others think. I have to be me.
