Sponsored Post : It’s World Baking Day Today!
Hey hey hey … it’s WORLD BAKING DAY today!
Did you get to bake anything?
Did you? Did you? Did you?
=D
Who did you bake for?
How did you feel and how did THEY feel?
Share your experience yeah!
(I plan to bake these cookies tomorrow! I’ve got the ingredients ready and this time I’ll use Blue Band too, … something that we ALWAYS spread on our bread, but never use to make cookies and cakes =)
…
As for me, I look forward to baking for Brie this coming Wednesday, as we’re celebrating her 4th birthday on May 21st with her friends!!
I’ll blog about it later and share with you how everything turns out!
…
Oh btw, a friend messaged me a few days ago and said how after she had her first child, she finds baking very therapeutic. Something that she enjoys doing, and now she gets her preschooler to help out with her baking too. How nice =)
Do YOU find baking therapeutic and relaxing?
As today is World Baking Day, I thought of sharing these 3 food for thought (which includes the benefits of doing something relaxing!=) from Emma Kenny, a psychologist who is also a TV presenter in the UK.
Here they are:
1. Get outside. Go for a walk or run in the fresh air, aside from being fantastic for your physical health, getting outside is fantastic for psychological wellbeing
I totally agree how being outdoors, away from the 4 walls of buildings and homes can be so refreshing!
2. Learn to relax. It doesn’t matter how – be it taking a long soak in the bath, listening to relaxing music, or by going for an energising run; relaxing is essential in happiness. Try to set aside at least twenty minutes a day simply winding down.
When we are busy with the kids, work AND housework, taking sometime to relax does seem impossible. BUT, I do feel it’s necessary to just do something to ‘relax’, eg. Enjoying a good stretch and 5 mins of lazing around in bed, reading a book or simply sitting on the sofa and drinking a cup of warm sweet tea.
3. Try and live in the present. So many of us are second guessing what’s going to happen that we fail to experience what’s happening right now and consequently end up missing out. Take a breath and look at how amazing your life is right now.
Yes, this is something that we all should remember. I mean, while we of course plan for the future, we often worry too much about what WILL happen next, so much so that we’re missing out on the PRESENT. Let’s cherish what we have today!
