You have seen Marie Bargas on this blog before (many many times!) but this time she’s giving us a series of posts about Mercury Retrograde. It’s not going to be pretty but she has some tips and tricks up her sleeve that she is sharing to help us all get through this time. It’s a time to chill despite your cell, computer, laptop, tablet, car, phone, bluetooth– everything and anything electrical goes wonky.
Sometimes so amount of astrological advise, spell craft or positive thinking can remove the sting of a disappointment during the Mercury Retrograde. And just because it’s Mercury Retrograde it doesn’t mean that the pain of a loss is any less… sometimes it’s more intense. For many years I allowed myself to rage at the stars at the unfairness I have suffered. But lately, I’ve realized that whatever losses I have suffered I have survived, not because I am an intensely “evolved” human being, but because I’m a “Foodie.” You see sometimes the best thing you can do over Mercury Retrograde is quietly mourn your fate… and make a ton of chocolate desserts!
According to Psychology Today chocolate can alleviate the discomfort of a bad mood for 3 minutes. It may not sound like a lot to you, but to someone in a deep depression or spiral of sadness 3 minutes may just be enough to come out of the deep dark pit of despair. I like to think of it as a 3 minute “time out”
So the next time your heart is aching, before you reach for another Xanax, or Valium… take a deep breath and head to the kitchen.
Thanks to Marie Bargas for this great post. She justified my chocolate intake of late!!

I love the reasoning behind all this, Stevie. Creating anything is rewarding, but chocolate creation will also win friends and influence everyone..great idea.
Chocolate I totally agree. Now since it’s not a cocktail.. will Fiona weigh in?
