Slow down and get creative in the kitchen. It's good for the mind - and body!
Lightbulb moments!
As a business owner, you've got a lot on your plate and it's difficult to switch off. And yet, some of your best thinking and creative moments happen when you're not 'doing the work', and your attention is elsewhere.
How many genius ideas have you had in the shower, away from the office, your phone, and other distractions? Research confirms that our best ideas come when we are in a relaxed state and enjoying some creative pursuit.
Enter "Cooking for Creativity"
Three reasons to get into the kitchen
#1: Clear your mind
Have you tried meditation? For most entrepreneurs, it's difficult! Sit down relax, close your eyes and what happens? A million thoughts, come flooding in breaking your flow and your attempts at getting all zen!
When you cook, you've got too many things going to even think about that email you forgot to send!
All the moving parts of pulling together a great recipe will keep you focussed and your creative juices flowing.
#2: Learn a valuable skill
Who doesn't want to be able to cook up a fabulous meal at the drop of a hat? Everyone loves great food and you'll be the envy of your friends once you know how to make a mean chicken biryani or Sunday roast.
It's also fun exploring the latest ideas and recipes.

#3 Get healthy
Juggling commitments to work and family often mean you're grabbing a takeaway or a microwave meal, simply due to lack of time. If you choose wisely, you can quickly make a healthy, nutritious meal that tastes like real food and isn't packed full of sugar and other junk.
