Let’s face it – we all lead busy lives and sometimes our days just don’t go as planned. It’s called life – there are ups, downs and many in-betweens. While we may not be able to solve all our problems, we can learn to cope with them; and candy coins are a great way to do just that. Here are just some scenarios to have some on hand.
-
Bad day at work: Whether you’ve just had a fight with your boss, you missed an important deadline on a project, or you lost one of your biggest clients, sitting back and taking a breath can help before you put a plan into action on how to fix things. Along with that breath, reach for a piece of chocolate. It can do wonders for your mood and help improve your focus.
-
Fight with your spouse: Everyone has a fight with their spouse once in a while; while you’re stewing in separate rooms, reach for a piece of chocolate and a glass of wine to calm your temper.
-
Afternoon slump: It’s 3 in the afternoon, and all you want to do is curl up under your desk and go to sleep; instead, reach for a piece of chocolate and a glass of water. You’d be amazed at what a few calories and a refreshing drink will do for your energy levels.
-
Fight with your kids: Kids don’t want to do their chores? Are they grounded for missing curfew (again!) Instead of yelling and screaming (which is quite ineffective anyway) give yourself a timeout and have a bit of yummy chocolate to calm your nerves.
-
End of the week: Friday has finally arrived and you thought it would never get here. While this isn’t a problem, it is reason to celebrate. Curl up in your favorite chair, grab a candy coin or two and reflect on how your week went.
Chocolate isn’t meant to solve all your problems – but it can help you deal with them better!
