Dear sweet readers,
Can you guess why today’s post may be Candied?
Many of us, this time of year, buy too much candy for Halloween, and get candied ourselves.
Candied, indeed.
Yesterday, many sweet people in therapy talked about eating candy (among other things) and how that made them feel.
All that sugar activated my sweet tooth, so I tried getting candied …
… and got cookied, instead.
As I suggested to others throughout the day …
… mindful eating includes recognizing slips and self-forgiveness. Our self-worth is NOT dependent on what we eat or how we look.
By mindfully letting go of the extra sugar I’ve been eating lately, I was able to notice and appreciate other sweet things around me.
Now it’s time to share some sweet music in this candied post.
Candidly, I chose today’s title partly because of this:
The Candide Overture by Leonard Bernstein is here on YouTube, with over one million sweet views.
What are your candied thoughts and feelings, now?
Sweet gratitude to all who helped me create this candied post and special thanks to you — of course! — for bringing your sweet self here, today.
