Mindfulness at Mealtimes

-
What do I eat? Tune into your taste buds and focus on your food: taste, texture and temperature. Be thankful for food and the nourishment it provides your body.
-
Where do I eat? Atmosphere is everything! Share meals with your friends and family whenever possible.
-
When do I eat? Listen to your body instead of the clock to decide when to eat. Work towards eating until you are 80% satisfied, rather than until you feel 100% full.
-
Why do I eat? Try to identifying your triggers for eating instead of judging them. Allow internal cues of hunger (stomach growling, headache) to help you decide when and how much you eat, rather than external cues (stress, food being within reach, boredom).
- How do I eat? Slow down. Take your time, 15-20 minutes! Eat in a relaxed manner, chew your food. Avoid multi-tasking and choose to be present and enjoy your meal.
