The hectic pace of the life we lead often has us gobbling down our food mindlessly. But this kind of eating isn't really satisfying; it can lead to overeating and digestive problems. Incorporating full awareness of your present moment and you will find your meal to be a more enjoyable dining experience.
Today's small change is to bring mindfulness to your meals, slow down and be more present in the experience of eating. Try eating slowly. Take the food and concentrate on the experience of eating it, first enjoying its texture and aroma to gradually chewing and savoring the taste. You will be amazed at how much flavor our food contains.
Here are a few other exercises you can try.
Say grace. Offering thanks calms you and focuses your mind on the meal ahead.
Consider the food. Take a moment to enjoy the smell and look of the food before grabbing your fork.
Eat slowly. Savor each bite, chewing slowly, and experience the food's subtle flavors.
Pay attention. Don’t multitask! Focus on the food.
Happy Birthday Orlando!!!
