11 TRY MINDFUL EATING

HOW OFTEN DO YOU UNTHINKINGLY SNACK AS YOU FRANTICALLY GET THE KIDS’ DINNER READY? OR HOOVER UP LUNCH AT YOUR DESK? “SET YOURSELF THE INTENTION TO SIT DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOOD YOU’RE EATING,” SAYS TESSA. “NOTICE THE TASTE, THE TEXTURE, AND KEEP BRINGING YOUR ATTENTION BACK TO THE SENSORY EXPERIENCE OF EATING. A WHOLE MEAL MIGHT FEEL LIKE TOO MUCH TO START WITH SO EXPERIMENT WITH JUST EATING A PIECE OF FRUIT OR CHOCOLATE MINDFULLY

AND NOTICE HOW THAT CHANGES YOUR EXPERIENCE.” THIS IS GREAT TO DO ON HOLIDAY WHEN YOU’RE TRYING

NEW TASTES.
