It’s OK to cook for yourself. It’s not all doom-and-gloom.
You don't have to please anyone but yourself, and it’s an opportunity to experiment and to ensure your well-being.
Cooking and eating alone could be seen as a blessing. You can eat what you love, when you want it, and do so whilst listening to slightly-too-loud jazz, if you wish to do so. While you are cooking for yourself, take every step as a journey of discovery. A chance to practice being your own best friend.
Make mealtimes a little moment of JOY in your day.
