I’m tired of the lack of consistency for hot sauce/food spiciness scales (and don’t even come at me with that Scoville crap). I’m done, I made my own scale and everyone should use it.

40 days without dessert
As you may remember, I quit sugar and snacks recently, but I wanted to take it a step further and focus on my relationship with food in general, so I added a couple rules to the challenge to take it up a notch:

Rule 3: Fail Like a Cat (often and gracefully)

-
Rule 2: Lean into Frustration (it’s what learning feels like)
When you get frustrated about something you’re doing, do you quit or do you push through? The feeling of frustration sucks and nobody likes it, but understanding what’s underneath that feeling and choosing to embrace it is what separates the victors from the victims in life.
