Mindfulness and Mindful Eating

Mindfulness is not only an extremely therapeutic way of functioning in the world, but it can also turn into an actual way of life.

Recently, I treated myself to pomegranate seeds, blueberries, and raspberries. They are expensive! I now eat a ton more fresh fruits and vegetables in an effort to help my body stay healthy.

One afternoon I was eating my fruit snack so quickly that I realized I wasn’t savoring it. I wasn’t TASTING the food! I stopped, and make a concerted effort to fully appreciate the flavors and bounty of the berries. Suddenly I was flooded with gratitude!!! And they tasted SO GOOD!

Mindful eating not only heals your body (eating in a rush is never a good thing!). It also helps with appreciation, and with slowing down and savoring the goodness of life. It is wonderful!

In this video, I discuss the benefits of mindful eating, gratitude, and actually TASTING your food. It’s hard to do when we’re always in a hurry, but if you can, the practice of mindful eating will change your life. ✨🙏🏼✨

Thanks so much for watching! I’d love to hear your experiences with mindful eating, so if you are watching on YouTube, please share in the comments!
