Eating Mindfully is one of the most important steps you can take to prioritize your health.

Start to pay attention to your thoughts around food.

Do you...

• Eat your meals slowly or quickly?

• Where do you eat your meals? At the table? In front of the TV?

• Are there distractions while you eat?

Practice This

• Tune into your feelings of hunger and fullness. Ask yourself, am I hungry right now?

• What type of food does your body crave? Is it creamy? crunchy? sweet? savory?

• How you can create a nourishing meal or snack that is also satisfying?

• Eat your meals at a table when you can and limit distractions.

• Create a relaxing environment. Practice slowing down while eating. Chew your food thoroughly. Put your fork down between bites.

• Challenge any negative thoughts about foods.

• Remember food is neutral! It is not good or bad.
