Fear of Failure

We are all blessed with things we are good at - singing, music, art, dance. One of my gifts is cooking.  I love to cook and the ideas that come to me are in an abundant supply.  I am frequently reminded by my friends who have gifts in other areas that cooking can be scary to them because they think they will ruin the recipe. I get that.  I feel that way about drawing. 

Having a fearful attitude weakens us. So if I go into an art class with fear, telling myself “I can’t draw” that is certainly going to affect my outcome.  If, however, I go into the art class with a positive attitude, telling myself it will be fun and look forward to what I can create, that too will certainly affect my outcome and will improve it dramatically.  Henry Ford’s quote is so true - whether you think you can, or you can’t, you are right!

So, if you are not confident in your cooking skills, let go of the fear of failure.  You cannot fail if you start your meal preparation with a prayer of gratitude or an intention to have fun!  Be present, think about the people you are making the meal for (even if it’s just you) and send them love.  It is such a gift to eat food that has been made with love.

I have lots of videos to walk you through many recipes. Let me hold your hand through the process and soon you will find you are more comfortable and actually enjoying the process. Let me know if there are any recipes you would like me to video, I would be happy to do that.

Be present. Eat joyfully.
