The Chef's tall white hat is a good one to try on when:
- You're in a rut, and what you have to work with looks ordinary and uninteresting
- You've reached a state of mastery, so that you barely notice what you're doing, and the work seems humdrum and "ho-hum."
- You're taking the important people in your life for granted.
- You know what you want to make happen, but you're waiting until you have all the right ingredients.
Potatoes, eggs, lemons, flour - simple in themselves, yet capable of appearing in endless delicious guises. What are the ingredients you have at hand? How can you combine them, cook them, and present them to make a satisfying dish?
Are you focusing only on the calories and carbs? Measurements and abstract qualities have their place, but what do your senses tell you? How would paying attention to the sight, aroma, and taste of the ordinary elements of your life change the way you experience your work, your home, your relationships?
Are you worried about making mistakes or blaming yourself for having messed up a procedure? Why couldn't that goof become a funny family story, an indelible learning, the accidental beginning of something new and wonderful?
Do you feel you have to do it by the book or resent having to do it by the book? What if the recipe is just somebody else's experience, waiting for you to embellish with your own unique touches?
Look around and see the makings of a feast. Bon Appetit!
