Here’s a wild thought: maybe your low vibe isn’t Mercury in retrograde… maybe it’s that microwaved pasta you ate standing in the kitchen with a side of emotional chaos.
We need to talk not about calories, carbs, or clean eating, but about energy. Because everything you eat, cook, chop, stir, and stress over? It holds energy. And… you’re consuming every last drop of it.
See, food doesn’t just fill your stomach. It mirrors your mood. That rushed coffee? Scattered thoughts. That lovingly made soup? Emotional reset. The sad sandwich you ate while doom-scrolling? Yep, that energy’s living rent-free in your gut now. 
The way we cook matters. The vibe in the kitchen matters. Your playlist, your mood, your passive-aggressive chopping ,all of it is getting marinated into your meal. And don’t even get me started on reheating leftovers with the same energy you give your ex’s texts: cold, uninterested, and full of regret.
Now, let’s talk gratitude. Remember when people used to pause before eating? Say thanks, bless the food, breathe? Yeah, now it’s more like: snap a pic, take a bite, scroll social media. Cute, but chaotic. A moment of presence isn’t just spiritual fluff it literally tells your nervous system, “Hey, it’s safe to digest now.” So if you’re constantly bloated and burnt out, maybe it’s not the gluten. Maybe it’s the emotional indigestion.
Culturally, we’ve known this forever. Your nani didn’t cook with measuring spoons she cooked with love, vibes, and a sixth sense for who needed extra ghee that day. That wasn’t a recipe. That was intuitive, energetic nourishment.
But we forgot. We replaced intention with convenience, ritual with rush, presence with productivity. And now we’re wondering why we feel disconnected, unfulfilled, and weirdly sad after meals. It’s not the food, honey. It’s the frequency.
So next time you’re in the kitchen, ask yourself: am I just feeding my hunger or am I feeding my energy? Because food made in chaos will never bring you peace. And meals consumed mindlessly won’t fuel your magic.
Long story short? Stir with love. Salt with intention. Chew with awareness. And for the love of your own vibe stop eating in front of your laptop like a raccoon in a cubicle.
Because you are what you eat. And how you eat it.
So cook like you give a damn, and eat like you deserve good energy.
