 The Secret Recipe to Stress-Free Living

It’s Friday!  That magical day when rice pots work overtime, grills start sizzling, and everyone suddenly remembers that life isn’t meant to be suffered, it’s meant to be tasted.

But let me ask you: how many times have you sat down to a plate of steaming food, only for stress to sit down beside you like an uninvited dinner guest? You’re there trying to enjoy jollof rice, and stress whispers, “Are you sure this portion isn’t too much? Didn’t you say you’d cut carbs? And by the way, your boss sent an email at 8pm…” 

See? Stress is the kind of guest who never washes plates after eating.

When Food Isn’t the Real Problem

Here’s the truth: most times, it’s not the food that’s stressing you, it’s your mindset.

Somebody else eats the same rice, adds extra stew, even licks the plate (don’t judge ), and walks away happy. Meanwhile, you’re calculating calories, thinking about your to-do list, worrying about the future, and stressing over things you cannot control.

The food didn’t change. Your mind did.


Stress Seasoning: Too Much Pepper in the Soup 

Stress works exactly like pepper. A little bit can keep you alert, deadlines can motivate you, a little pressure can sharpen your focus. But too much? Tears. Sweat. Regret. You’ll be drinking water like a fish and wondering why you didn’t just use Maggi in peace.

And the funniest part? Stress doesn’t just stay in your head. It spills over into your digestion, your sleep, your mood, even the way you interact with people. That’s why sometimes you’re not really angry at your friend — it’s just stress using your voice.

The Secret Ingredient of Peace

So how do we fix this?

 Simple: change your seasoning.

  • Gratitude is like salt — it makes everything taste better.

  • Mindfulness is like thyme — subtle but powerful when added consistently.

  • Laughter is like oil — it carries every flavor and keeps things from burning.

  • Stillness is like water — simple, refreshing, always balancing the heat.

When you season your life with these, stress doesn’t stand a chance.

7 Days, 7 Steps to Reset

But here’s the challenge: you can’t just think about peace once on a Friday and then go back to panic mode by Monday. You need a rhythm. A structure. Something that helps you show stress who’s boss, one day at a time.

That’s why I created the 7-Day Stress Relief Journal. Think of it as your recipe book for calm living. Each day gives you one simple, doable practice — something you can actually apply between emails, meals, and real-life responsibilities. It’s not boring, it’s not “textbook therapy.” It’s like a friendly chef guiding you in the kitchen of your mind.

By the time you’re done, stress will be asking: “Wait, who demoted me?” 

This weekend, as you sit with your food, friends, and fun, remember it’s not just about what’s on your plate. It’s about what’s on your mind.

 Start your journey with the 7-Day Stress Relief Journal today — and begin seasoning your week with calm, confidence, and joy. “Grab your copy of the 7-Day Stress Relief Journal here https://selar.com/tjd3155135”

  How Can We Communicate Better in Our Relationships? Season’s Greetings as We Near the End of the Year, As the year draws to a close, this season invites us to slow down and reflect, not only on our achievements, but on our relationships. Many couples and partners discover that the real damage didn’t come from arguments, but from the long stretches of silence that followed them. Communication, or the lack of it, often becomes the silent breaker of relationships and marriages. Healthy communication is not about speaking more, it’s about speaking with clarity, honesty, and care . Whether it’s a romantic relationship, marriage, friendship, family bond, or even workplace connection, communication improves when we first become aware of how we communicate, not just what we say. Here are gentle but effective ways to communicate better in any relationship: Start by speaking from your feelings , not accusations. Instead of saying, “You never listen,” try, “I feel unheard when thi...
