“In order to assess the utility of a treatment for a disorder, you NEED to know what the disorder is!”
Honestly, it made me very sad to read all those “Guilty Pleasures” — the comforts Family First contributors won’t give up. Why the guilt? I don’t think this mentality stems from virtuous character. Hashem wants us to enjoy this world and all the big or small pleasures that come with it! And goodness knows, you deserve it!
To all of the wonderful mothers of Klal Yisrael, you’re amazing! You give and give and give to your children all day and night, you work hard for hours on end, you cook and clean and think of your children nonstop, and maybe you also work very hard to help support them — and you’re rethinking buying a scented candle?
Please, keep on buying those pretty little things that make you that much happier. Please, keep on lighting those scented candles that make you that little bit calmer. Please, have some chocolate or cookies that you look forward to and feel special. Please, give yourself that little break with a good book that gives you a little bit of emotional restoration.
You’re important! Taking care of yourself is very important, and needs no justification. Good for you that you discovered something that helps you. Whatever that is for you, please, enjoy it.
