It was getting very late, I was hungry and not to mention getting very tired. It is one of those moments where I’m standing in front of the refrigerator which is packed with food, and yet my brain can’t seem to put anything together. When I start formulating a list of all the dishes I could make, I decide I’m too tired to do anything. And the cycle repeats itself.
Of course, the true solution is not to wait so late to eat dinner, but that doesn’t help the here and now.
This is where the power of “Just Do It” comes into play. Just as we don’t like to get out of bed when the alarm clock goes off in the morning – we just do it anyway. In a few minutes or more we are feeling good and ready to face the day. It is no different with cooking. Just do it. Just start. Start cutting the onion, start chopping the garlic. Just do it. By the time I wait around for the “mood” to kick it, I could have cooked up a simple plate of pasta and been well on my way to a full tummy.
So I decided to just do it – and I did it. And it was done before I knew it.
