Act mindfully when you are eating - The Robesonian
Have you ever arrived at work and did not remember the drive? Have you ever gobbled down a meal so fast that you had to loosen your pants button for a little more comfort? Have you ever had a conversation with someone and had to ask them to repeat themselves because you were not listening?
I must admit, I have been guilty of these mindless activities and more. Living mindfully means we pay more attention in the moment to the events, activities, and thoughts that make up our daily lives. It means doing things with purpose, not just going through the motions of how we have always done things. If we are more mindful of our relationships with others, we will likely experience healthier, happier lives. If we are more mindful of our eating, sleeping, and physical activity, we will likely make decisions that will improve our health. Mindfulness is a “win-win” activity.
