guide to living tip i.
how to have a sweet little treat
a simple pleasure for some, a difficult delight for others.
i dedicate this tip to all you darlings who battle with nutritional "noise."
<3 rack your brain. are you actually hungry? or are other emotions clouding your natural signals? if the latter, decide whether said emotions are negative (ie. stress) or neutral (ie. a small desire for something delicious).
<3 eating a sweet treat will not ease your stress, and perhaps only amplify your restless emotional state. if you are anxious, take a rest. listen to music, read a book, watch a video, take a walk. remove yourself from the kitchen. find a treat in the form of self-care.
<3 eating a sweet treat will satisfy a craving, if you are in the correct state of mind. before exploring the pantry, mentally evaluate your yearning -- what do you actually want to eat? avoid overstimulation through intentional preparation.
<3 have you decided on your desire? calmly select and plate your treat. enjoy your snack outside of the kitchen. sit down. relax. sip a large glass of water.
<3 stay in place for a few minutes after you have finished eating. breathe. return your plate to the kitchen. exit. continue about your day.
you deserve all that is good in this world. and good things are best enjoyed in small doses. you have the power.
xx

What I like a lot about judaism is... It can wait. It can wait. Especially on shabbos it's just... You can wait. Life can wait a bit.
And that's really nice in a world that moves at a breakneck speed, demands you move with or be left behind. I've always been left behind because it's hard to keep up, but I find that I can actually just... Let things happen when it comes to judaism. You think a people, a religion that's thousands of years old doesn't have time for you, or wouldn't be willing to wait for you? I doubt that you'll be left behind, truly.

i wish i could go through life without needing to speak
like a model, an enigma, someone who wisped in and out of rooms
i could focus all my energy on cultivating a persona
speaking with my scarves, coats, dresses, and gentle smiles
but it wouldn’t do, i was looked at strangely when words didn’t flow easily through teeth
i was the odd man out by way of silence
i had to have opinions, a certain garishness, to prove my humanity
to prove i’m not one of those girls
who sits still, quietly
and aren’t people enough
