It seems like a no-brainer that Chopped contestants would be better off having a real concept for their dish before they start cooking. But most of them don’t. They start with one ingredient and then try to find a way to work in the other three as they go. I get it. They’re flustered by the limited time and working under intense pressure. Unfortunately, they’re the ones that end up getting surprised by the clock and throwing food on their plates at the last minute.That detailed vision will give you positive momentum.
Key Takeaways:
- Everyone has their own “numbing” strategies for giving themselves an emotional break. Chopped became my go-to show for turning off my mind for at least an hour.
- Just like the Chopped contestants, we walk into a divorce without a clue about our options, the process, or what’s going to be thrown at us.
- Just like in Chopped, you need to make sure that you find the harmony and balance in your life. There is a whole lot more in your life than just this divorce.
“Think of your life as the perfect meal. You’re the chef. You can create anything you want. You’re in charge of choosing the ingredients you want to use and how you want to put them together. It’s your vision that makes the meal what you want it to be.”
