Some nights, you just really need to bake #surprisesuccess #glutenfree

Alycia orders the tartare... what a surprise!

For me, routines are essential. I need a checklist to remind me to take care of myself. I am too hard on myself and I am inclined to punish myself mentally and physically for what I deem not enough or my mistake. But, I also try to give my best to everyone. I want to be a good part of people’s lives. I always aim to exude kindness and understanding and I strive to support those I love and care about. This isn’t always easy, the struggle between self-condemnation and building up others. I’ve realized throughout the years, that to be able to help anyone else, I have to be my best. In other words, I have to help myself too. It isn’t enough to pretend you are okay, you have to truly be okay to be able to offer any authentic part of yourself to the world. This is where routines come in. They aren’t set in stone, there’s flexibility for a spur of the moment plan, but I am keenly aware that my routines keep me the smiling, happy, helpful, and reliable Alycia everyone knows; the person I want to be. Many elements of my routines simply pull me out of my thoughts. Keep me out of the depths of my mind, where it is all too easy to get lost. Routines give me a sense healthy control. They might, at times, make me seem antisocial. But, briefly stepping away is how I can stay engaged. Cooking is integral to my routines. If I cook, I eat. If I cook, I escape. If I cook, I am happy! I feel better eating home cooked meals. There’s no worries of possibly getting sick. My swims feel stronger because I’m fully in control of how I’m nourishing my body. I have more energy to get through each day. So, every Sunday, no matter how I feel, I make myself a meal. It starts the week off on a good note and gives leftovers for those inevitable crazy days/lazy nights. There will always be challenging and overwhelming moments, times when you don’t know what to do next or slip to bad habits, but this is when routines are there for you. They are guidelines to get back to a place where you feel like the true you again. #sundaycooking #mentalhealthawareness #bethebestyou #takecareofyourself

Memories of my summertime escape

While all of our cooking nights are good, this Thursday’s was something special! Keeping each other sane, one meal at a time @chewthroughthepain #cookingwithfriends #🔥#homemade #glutenfree

Even the pickiest eater wanted some curry!
