One of my favorite places to be is in the kitchen cooking. It doesn’t matter if it’s my kitchen or not. I am in my own little world in the kitchen. It doesn’t matter if I’m cooking alone or talking with someone while I’m cooking. I find my way around strange kitchens quite quickly and, for me, cooking is like therapy.
I know that for some people, cooking is a major source of stress. But I am relaxed and feel at home when I am in the kitchen and I’m also able to allow my creativity to bloom.
When cooking, I am working on a project that will be completed soon in the future and that will be enjoyed. I make a mess of the kitchen, but I clean it up afterward. A greater joy comes when others enjoy the food I’ve made as well.
Where is your world? What relaxes you or is your (healthy) therapy?
