Your Soul Doesn’t Want a Cookie (But the Cookie Thinks It Does)

Here’s a seasonal truth:

Sometimes your soul asks for comfort but your brain hands it a cookie.

A single golden sugar cookie glowing with sparkles of light, surrounded by small shimmering stars on a warm golden background.

When the universe knows you’re tired… and sends you a cookie anyway.

 

The cookie does its best.
It tries.
But it is tragically unqualified for the job.

Most of the time, cravings in December aren’t about sugar—they’re about symbolism.

Cookies represent:

  • warmth
  • being cared for
  • pause
  • sweetness
  • permission to comfort yourself

When you reach for a treat this time of year, pause for a moment and ask:

“What does this represent that I might actually be wanting?”

Sometimes the answer surprises you:

  • rest
  • reassurance
  • a moment to yourself
  • softness
  • delight
  • relief

You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re human in a human season.

If you want to go deeper into the difference between emotional wanting and true nourishment, Book One of Healing The Wanting was written for this exact crossroads.
