Lent is upon us, the perfect time to cement good practices and positive reflections. Canonically, lent is a religious observation to allow penance and repentance to take place. Religion is now not always the reason for partaking in the 40 day event but it is still very much a part of today’s customs.
So what would the devil offer me? Probably chocolate, crisps and carbonated drinks, you know if Luther was having a good day and had done his research. My main focus will be health and working on my gut. I am currently awaiting results following years of ongoing IBD symptoms and a recommended item to cut out or at least limit is fizzy drinks from the limited research I have done on the subject. If you know me you will realise that this will be hard because I love Dr Pepper, but I’m going to try this for my health and see if it makes any difference. Perhaps I can reintroduce it once a week as a treat further down the line.
As well as renouncing certain foods, I also want to focus on the reflective aspect of the celebration. Lacking positivity is a big thing for me, mainly I think because I’m a realist but hopefully focusing on circumventing any negativity will allow me to find light moments in often trying or just generally average days.
