There's a great line from the book "The paradox of choice" by Barry Schwartz - “The more options we have, the less satisfied we are with whatever we choose.”
I was drawn to it recently when I was getting a coffee and some breakfast in Belfast - the choices we make and what influences them.
Location, price, familiarity, curiosity, recommendation - whatever motivates you puts pressure on the business owner to not only get it right first time but to keep getting it right, then changing, then going again all the while watching out for rising costs in produce, energy and the ever-decreasing attention span of humans - both staff and customers.
I have watched on as SEED have taken their successful, food-outlet business into the world of high value content, via social media, email and events.
If you are not familiar with them, check out their places in Dungannon and Lisburn Road - also their social media content SEED People on instagram and the brilliant content from chef, StevieB.

I found myself a little hypocritical in the previous episode - trying to maybe make everything sound so easy when in truth getting into good habits in any part of your life can be anything but easy.
I felt it important to reframe a few things - it is a struggle for me in loads of areas and I try hard to inject some stability and form rituals where i can in order to improve myself, in the margins.
Small, steady improvements might make big differences over the longer term but they 100% have greater impact over doing nothing.
For me, Im cutting out media for a few days - I find watching anything about Palestine now a torture and something that Impacts my own well being.
On the up side, I am happy to recommend a few apps - one is Merlin, the other Picture this - but handy for the immersion in nature experience.
The other is NO THANKS - an app that tells you which companies are directly linked in supporting countries whose ethics you might find somewhat despicable.
