The Cookie Clause of Mindfulness

🌸 Inspiration Corner

“Today I will live in the moment. Unless the moment is unpleasant, in which case I will eat a cookie.” – Unknown (but clearly a genius)

This quote is basically the unofficial life mantra of emotionally intelligent snackers everywhere. It’s a reminder that mindfulness doesn’t mean martyrdom. Living in the moment sounds all zen and sparkly until that moment includes traffic, paper cuts, or unsolicited advice from your tita who thinks you're “too chill for someone without a boyfriend.” When life serves lemons and you're out of sugar... eat a cookie.

Cookies are like edible hugs. They don’t fix the moment, but they sure do improve the scenery. So yes—breathe, be present, and appreciate the now. But also, know when to call in the oatmeal raisin reinforcements.



🧘‍ Mindful Living Tip

Mindfulness is great, but selective mindfulness is an art. Try this:

Take three deep breaths when your Wi-Fi buffers during a video call.

Smile softly when your inner critic starts yapping.

And if someone cuts in line at the grocery store? Don’t snap—just imagine you’re meditating in a chocolate chip forest.

You’re not ignoring the chaos. You’re just… buffering with snacks.
