hustle chocolate coffee spread.

I’ve got to hustle today – push harder, move faster and think smarter. No time to stop, no room for breaks but, extra room for melodrama (it seems). Don’t get locked into this way of thinking. There is time to breathe, to stop, to take a break. I’ll just need to be careful not to amble because there’s a lot to do and I’m excited to do it. It’s a thin line between hustling and feeling crazed (see overwhelmed). I can’t forget to eat either (see hangry). I think I’ll bake.

I'm feeling...

something that's super quick (and no-stress) to make,

something that’s smooth and goes down easy,

something I can (momentarily) melt into,

something that’s sweet and caffeinated...

TLDR:

I’m hustling
I’ll bake
Chocolate Coffee Spread
Smooth, Sweet, Caffeinated

Feel. Bake. Better.

It’s not just about baking something to get you through the day.

It’s not about eating the whole tray to feel better.

It’s about getting lost in the process.

It’s about enjoying every moment.

It’s about sharing it with people that support and care about you.

Baking can be a lot of things – it can be distracting but simple, it can be movement with focus, it can be whatever you need when you need it. Choose a recipe to fit the mood and it becomes a useful tool as well – baking to quiet the mind, to connect with your emotions, or simply baking to feel emotional. Just think of the feelings you get and the emotions you experience when baking your favourite dessert…. excitement, relief, fulfillment, joy, accomplishment.
