This Week’s Mental Health Recipe
A Minimalist Sesame Cucumber & Avocado Salad | Mental Health Recipes
Some days, you just don’t have it in you.
You know you should eat something. Something that isn’t cereal straight from the box or whatever’s left in that takeout container from three days ago. But the thought of actually cooking? Standing over a stove, dirtying a million dishes, following some elaborate recipe? Hard pass.
This is exactly why minimalist meals exist—and why this Sesame Cucumber and Avocado Salad might just become your new best friend. (Bonus points if you add some chicken or protein to this meal!).
But here’s all you need: Just 10 minutes! No cooking, no fancy equipment, no culinary degree required. Just some slicing, a quick whisk, and suddenly you’ve got a fresh, satisfying bowl of something that actually makes you feel good.
Sometimes, the most nourishing thing you can do is keep things simple, which is exactly what this recipe does well. So, let’s whip this one up…
One Positive Action
Spend Five Minutes Preparing Tomorrow
A lot of stress comes from your mind being in a state of expectation, and not what is happening right now. It’s the stress that comes from not knowing exactly what will happen next, what decision you’ll make, or what uncertainties await you.
Spending five minutes preparing for tomorrow gives your brain a sense of order. When things are even slightly set up, your nervous system relaxes because it no longer has to keep everything on standby.
Laying out clothes, packing a bag, or even writing a short list of the few things that that you might forget will lessen the friction for you tomorrow. Something small will be taken care of and you’ll be able to rest with less anxiety.
Tonight, spend five minutes preparing one small part of tomorrow. Set out what you will need, write a short list, or pack what you can in advance. Stop when the five minutes are up. Pay attention to how much smoother your day goes tomorrow just from you taking five minutes to prepare.
