Joy Journey

In my intentional pursuit of putting myself in the office if personhood, I am compiling a list of what brings me joy. [Thank-you Arthur Burk for your work on this.]  During the perfect storm of life events of late, I have realized that baking brings me great joy, yet is dangerous to my SF controlled carb lifestyle.

Yes, I know about the recipes that align the baking with my lifestyle. And some of them work well for me.

Sadly, baking batches of SF low carb cookies does not bring me joy as the results are disappointing.

Do you feel me here?

For a couple of years now I have either disgruntledly avoided baking cookies OR have baked and consequently eaten cookies whilst feeling like a prisoner who has broken out of her cell, feeling the breath of the law hot on my neck. 

Not much joy in either one of those.

The new idea I plan to try is to give myself permission to bake for predefined special occasions and to enjoy my joy while doing so. And enjoying the results of the baking in moderation is part of that new idea, also.

Not surprisingly my pursuit of perfection is a huge stumbling block on my journey.  I am way past ready to embrace a messier, less groomed and coiffed path.

Yep, I have been writing specifically about baking today, but this shift is one for all areas of my life.

What new paradigm are you embracing?
