On washing lettuce

For some reason washing lettuce feels a bit overwhelming for me.

It doesn’t make any sense … it’s really not that hard. We have running water, we have a lettuce spinner.

And yet, when I think about making a salad, it’s that first step that trips me up.

If I want to eat more salad there are two things I could do.

Firstly, I could transform myself. Change my belief about washing the lettuce. Realise I’m being irrational. Just get over myself.

Or I could buy pre-washed, ready-to-use lettuce.

And of course, this is a metaphor. Where in your life are you trying hard to transform yourself instead of just buying the pre-washed lettuce?
