Find a Reason
These days, I catch myself staring into blank spaces more frequently. Like I am so tempted to give in and dive into a depressed state. This is when I decided to make a meal plan.
1. List all the days of the week and allocate a space for breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks.
2. Think of a menu for all those meals. Be realistic. You cannot make cordon bleu yet.
3. Estimate the equivalent amount to be bought from the market.
TIP: Relax. Do not pressure yourself to perfection. Enjoy the process.
So while a lot of things are thought by an over thinker. I decided not to be defeated. Divert your thoughts to thinking about balanced diet. You see, going through the life changing event towards vegetarianism is not easy. You have to think about protein sources. You have to feel guilty if you had fish and rice for dinner.
Act or Start Moving
Armed with a grocery list and lots of reusable bags you will march to your destination. At this point it felt so therapeutic. I was walking around with many people who are also rushing while being cautious at their purchases. When you feel down, go out and walk around. You will recognize that this world is sustaining many lives. You are not alone. Everyone is also struggling.
Celebrate
Always pat yourself on the back for any accomplishment. You deserve it.
