Hello, Productive .
Practice mindful eating during a meal, savouring each bite without distractions.
I attended a Mindfulness practice certification course earlier this year and it was a necessary skill to acquire.
In one of the practicals, we were taken through the process of eating mindfully.
Here are the steps you can follow to practice it.
Preparation.
- Choose a quiet and comfortable place to eat, free from distractions like phones, computers, or television.
- Set a positive intention for your meal, such as nourishing your body and savouring the experience.
Observation.
- Before you begin eating, take a moment to observe your food. Notice its colours, textures, and arrangement.
- Pay attention to the aroma of the food. Inhale deeply and appreciate the scents.
Gratitude.
- Express gratitude for the food you are about to eat. Reflect on the journey the food took from its source to your plate.
Engage Your Senses.
- As you take each bite, savour the flavours and textures. Chew slowly and thoroughly, paying attention to the changing taste.
When I practiced mindful eating I noticed that I was able to notice when I am full as against when I eat without being present and overfeeding.
Your task for today.
Practice mindful eating today throughout the day using the above process.
To a productive you,
Your Productivity Buddy.
