Aware vs. Mindless Munching
Aware vs. Mindless Munching
Observe - Notice your body (rumbling stomach, low energy, stressed out, full, empty).
In-the-Moment - Be fully present. Turn off the TV. Sit down. When you eat, just eat.
Savor - Notice the texture, aroma, the flavor. Is it crunchy, sweet, salty, smooth, spicy?
Nonjudgmental - Speak mindfully and compassionately. Notice when "should" rigid rules or guilt pop into your head.
Tell the friends around you something nice about them or something that you enjoy about eating lunch with them each day. If you can’t find something, maybe you should ask to sit near peers who will help you relax and reflect to have a better day.
