I have been very ill of late, and not eating healthfully on top of it. My kitchen became, in a word, filthy, and I was deeply discouraged to even step into the space. Dirty dishes stacked in every empty space, my precious new blender used twice & left uncleaned, food & spices and spills everywhere.
Yesterday I had the energy to remedy all of that.
I washed the dishes.
Washed my blender.
Sanitized my counters.
Mopped my floor.
And put everything in its proper place.
And I know I need to do this daily so I can keep this vital space in my home functioning.
Because for me, Food is Medicine. I can't heal (or at least have less pain or feel good) if I can't access my blender, or the healthy ingredients I have for recipes that are stocked in my cabinets, fridge, and freezer.
I also need to work through my growing fear of going to the grocery store with my therapist. More often than not, I will make plans to shop, then cancel them.
If I don't regularly shop for fresh produce, or spices, or whatever I need for my staples and new recipes, I am sabotaging my health.
Here's to a New Beginning!😀
