“Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.” ~Buddha
1. Count Your Blessings
Honor your food and express your gratitude. Many people skip meals every day because they don't have a choice. Be grateful that you are able to have something on your plate!
2. Be Aware of Your Senses
Eating is more pleasurable when it is a multi-sensory experience. Take the time to notice what's on your plate. Use your eyes and notice what is on your plate. Smell the aroma. Chew slowly so you can appreciate the flavors and experience the textures.
3. Appreciate All Foods Equally
Enjoy all foods and a variety of foods everyday. Appreciate the fact that each and every food can provide you with the essential nutrients your body needs to grow and flourish!
4. Acknowledge Your Feelings
Acknowledge your feelings with certain foods. Don't avoid food because fear of weight gain. Don't overeat foods that are supposed to be healthy because too much of anything will be unhealthy!
5. Take the Stress Out of Eating
Be present and mindful at every meal. Take away any distractions (tv, radio, computers, etc) and just enjoy your meal and the goodness every bite brings.
6. Love Your Food
Love what you eat, Eat what you love!
