Cooking can be therapeutic and training for focus
Ever have trouble working in the kitchen preparing meals?
At times, it is hard but sometimes you would breeze through the cooking process and get your meal on time without breaking a sweat!
HOW? and why would cooking or being in the kitchen be able to make your day?
The answer is simple as to how you approach cooking.
What fun in cooking
Cooking can be fun and rewarding but as with everything else, you have to have the mood for it or even want to do it. That is why you see some people enjoy cooking, because they see it that way!
What to focus
Cooking can be a great way to train focus. As you can see, the kitchen is a serious arena where every move and detail of your work is measured on how well you can come up with dishes in a limited amount of time. Yeah, it is kind of like the cooking show Iron Chef.
So, begin in the training to focus on following through things you are doing (not thinking about something else at the time) from preparation of the raw ingredients to finally putting them in the wok/pan to cook for the final dishes : you want is a stream of conscious awareness on the flow of actions you took.
What a great dish for the 5 senses!
The next part is the one that you might enjoy the most, and that is the taste of the dishes you prepared. Cooking is really fun when it comes to where you can enjoy your hard work from your taste buds. What a way to practice your focus from hand eye and hearing (noticing things are overflowing at the range) coordination: being a part of the cooking process, to your sense of smell and taste. And that is using your five senses!
