POV: Cooking is my therapy.
Not because I’m a chef.
Not because I have endless free time.
But because for 30 minutes, life slows down.
No notifications.
No stress.
No pressure to perform.
Just me, good food, and the process.
As an athlete, people see the workouts, the physique, the discipline and the results.
What they don’t see are the small habits that keep me grounded when life gets loud.
Cooking has become one of those habits.
It fuels my body, clears my mind, and reminds me that looking after yourself doesn’t always have to be complicated.
Sometimes therapy looks like a walk.
Sometimes it looks like a workout.
And sometimes it looks like preparing a meal that will help you become a little better tomorrow than you are today.
What’s your version of therapy?
