On a daily basis, we’re asked to make decisions about food.
"Do you feel like cooking Italian or Indian tonight?"
"Do you want your veggies raw or steamed?"…
How often do we step back and think about the deeper responses to what we’re eating, asking ourselves questions such as:
Am I taking my time when eating?
Is this what my body really needed ?
Do I even enjoy eating this?
Perhaps most essentially,
Was I even hungry to begin with?
Mindful eating affirmations can help you respond to these questions in a positive way.
What is Mindful Eating?
Mindful eating is about using all of our senses to be present when we’re eating, instead of just going through the motions.
Proponents of mindful eating suggest turning off the television, for example, or putting down the mobile phone, and focusing on the textures, aromas, and visual appeal of food.
As food becomes the sole focus, it becomes easier to tune into the body’s cues of satiety or sensation. Reaching a healthy weight becomes easier, and our whole relationship with food and where it comes from can begin to shift.
