Hi from the kitchen.
I just made a pot of lentil soup! Sorry, scotch broth is beyond me, and not so 'new age' either! It made me think of nurturing. Shame not all my children will eat my soup. Maybe it's because it's 'pants'. Naw, it's probably because it doesn't give the same 'buzz' as the tinned tomato! You have to take a few spoonfuls before you realise what you've got. The tinned tomato doesn't have the same lumpy consistency, and it looks and smells great and promising, but not so good for you as the home made! So, if I want others to eat my lentil soup, or for that matter read my articles on my website www.stressalternatives.co.uk I have to convince them to 'have a few spoonfuls'.
I don't have a lot of charismatic verbal persuasive skills up my sleeve. Most people try stuff they're not sure of by being frightened into it by being forced or told the consequences of their inactions, or because they haven't any other choice (and they're hungry enough), or they might do it because they want to impress the person who recommends it. So, if I want my kids to eat my lentil soup, I have a few choices: 1) give them nothing else (and hide all the goodies, treats and lock the food cupboards!) ; 2) preach to them about the horrible diseases they might get if they don't eat my lentil soup; 3) ram it down their throats until they learn their lesson! They'll grow up big and strong but a bit loopy! 4) bribe them with the yummy ice cream for after they've eaten the soup or 5) give them real choice: my soup or the tinned, and give them whatever they choose with love, and hope that the love makes up for the the excess salt and sugar in the tin. I reckon it always does! Just don't give them too much choice and don't include sweets and crisps in the main course!
Anyway, getting back to my advice for personal development and mental health, it isn't that obvious till you read the articles that my website is full of stuff you can get your teeth into, but it is,so when you realise that your antidepressants are just 'tinned soup', visit me!

Bon appetite!
