Get a Coke🥤

Putting a pause on Nonviolent Communication prompts (we’ll pick back up tomorrow), because I wanted to share something I did yesterday.

I had a Coke.

Not just any Coke—Coca-Cola, full sugar (none of that diet crap).

I’d been craving a Coke for weeks, but with marathon training, I kept telling myself it was “bad” to indulge.

Then yesterday, I decided to just go for it. I treated myself to that Coke, and guess what? I felt amazing. I enjoyed it guilt-free, and carried on having a healthy dinner without going off the rails. 

It was such a great reminder that we’re human, not machines. Treating ourselves here and there doesn’t ruin us—it reminds us to savor life’s little joys.

Because sometimes, one small thing like a sugar-filled Coke can transform a good day into a wonderful one.

Happy journaling,

Kelsey
