About this episode

I spend more time refereeing at family dinners than I do tasting my food. 

 

My attention is on my email (instead of my lunch) when I take my lunch "break". 

 

The reality is mindful eating in a fast-paced, often chaotic environment can be challenging. For me, I had forgotten how powerful it could be and lost the practice. After a trip on my own (without kids and away from emails) I was pleasantly reminded of the wonderful benefits of mindful eating. There are both mental and physiological benefits to eating mindfully and I want to help you (and me) return to this practice...  even WHEN our life is chaotic. 

 

Today's episode includes 3 quick, easy tips that you can practice today to build your mindful eating skills. You can do them in the car, during your lunch "break" as you answer emails, or as you wrangle the kiddos at dinner time. Practice one or all three and I know you will feel the benefits and enjoy your food even more!

Until next time...

Cheers and happy (mindful) eating!
