Slowing down to enjoy life
Practicing slower eating will help your body digest food more easily and will allow you to find greater pleasure in the food you eat. But not only will it have those benefits, practicing mindfulness in eating may be a start to practicing greater mindfulness in other areas of your life. Do you take a deep breath and smell the fresh air and really look at the trees blowing in the wind when you are on a walk? Or do you rather spend that time also on your phone or doing something else? Do you really listen to your kids or your partner when they are talking to you, or are you half participating in the moment? If you have kids I am sure you can appreciate how quickly they change - soak up every moment that you can to enjoy their bright eyes and precious smiles.
What can you do today to be more mindful in your eating and in your life? Practice one new habit today - I promise you it will be worth the effort.
