Nomato satisfaction

I gave myself a nice serotonin boost this evening by indulging in some beet-based pasta sauce with organic free-range ground bison and pork on edamame fettuccine. Italian was one of my favourite cuisines before my sensitivities forced me away from the delicious delights of the romantic Mediterraneans. True Italians would have despised my dish, but for me, it was the closes thing to the real deal I had in months and it felt wonderful. Also, sitting down with a complete meal, not standing up to add elements to my dinner, and just eating was terrifically calming.

I tend to compose meals with a combination of small dishes that I munch on for about an hour before carrying on with my day. It’s a lazier approach that allows me to escape spending extended periods labouring in the kitchen though tonight, the inspiration was there and I just went at it. The result satisfied my craving and later enjoyed a nice productive evening. My energy was good today even if I napped in the afternoon, it seems I’ve established a nice natural rhythm back in my life thanks to let myself create and dream at will.

As I’m completing “Laziness does not exist” from Devon Price, I now can assess that their approach works wonderfully. Giving space for my seeming procrastination has profoundly reconnected me with my artistic and crafty passions; a much more efficient therapy and self-care than many other conventional outlets. I finally feel my chronic fatigue fading away while grounding my energy in what matters most to me.

In the upcoming days, I will be back to administrative tasks with school, taxes and work but my soul vibrates with the joy of the freedom I gave myself in the past week. Laziness truly allows us to recharge and refocus on our needs. On a still full tummy and a blissful mind, I go to bed delighted with my day.
