Mindful Eating: Food and Blessings
Mindfulness is composed of 3 parts:
1. Deliberately paying attention, without judgment, to one's own experiences.
2. Cultivating openness to, and acceptance of all experience.
3. Mindfulness happens in the present moment.
What if you ate every bite of food as if it were a blessing? Would it change how you eat? Would just some (as opposed to everything on your plate or all the options available) be enough if you were blessed by every bite?
Try it this weekend. With every bite, consciously celebrate the fact that you are able to have plenty, plenty of food available to you. Enough food that you can make the choice to eat more than you need -- but just because you can doesn't mean you have to.
