What To Do
Being able to cook is a skill much needed in our daily lives. If you are a beginner at cooking, it is alright. You can learn how to cook by following cooking tutorials available online. Such tutorials are easily available on the YouTube channel. Learn the basic steps of preparation before starting to cook. Choose simple recipes to begin with.
What Does It Do
Preparing the ingredients for cooking offers a form of distraction. You will be kept busy instead of focusing on the intrusive thoughts and voices. At the same time, it pushes you out of your comfort zone when you are learning something new. This will help you get used to unfamiliar grounds. Moreover, cooking tests one’s patience and creativity. Once you acquire the skill, you will be able to prepare simple and nutritious meals to your liking. This will definitely boosts your confidence.
How I Feel After Doing It
When I cook for my loved ones, I feel very accomplished and happy. As a beginner at cooking, being able to independently whip up meals makes me proud and satisfied. I find that having cooking skills is essential in life. It boosts my confidence.
Plating of food is also important to me. I like to place the food I cooked on my favourite white flower-shaped porcelain plate. It makes the dish looks better and more appealing. It makes me happy to take photos of the meals that I prepared, recording it as a part of my journey. When I look back later, these photos will serve as a reminder of my progression.
Learning is a continuous process. Do not stop learning, warriors! Continue to equip yourself with more skills. Upgrade yourself to a point where the voices will not affect you or lower your self-confidence. Try to progress daily, even if it is only by 1%. Never give up! If you stumble and fall, get up and try again. You can do it!
