Dear younger me…
I’ve thought a lot about what I might say to my younger self. Would I tell myself everything I’ve learned in my recovery, or not to date a certain guy, where I should move or work? Honestly, I don’t know that I would have listened…
To that I would add: if allowed space in our mind, comparison will trap us in a spiral, until we reach a point where the idea of contentment is foreign and the way we measure value is skewed.
It starts with the smallest comparison to others, our past self, or the expectations we had for our life.
I’ve never seen a recipe listing guilt as an ingredient. But I have seen recipes, menu items, and packaged food claiming the descriptor “guilt free.”
Guilt is something we have assigned to certain food items and ingredients. We label desserts as guilty pleasures and allow our minds to be weighed down by guilt if we consume foods that aren’t “guilt free.”
