Being mindful about, well, anything, is one of the keys to life. In fact, I was just reading an article about how "mindful eating" is all the rage these days. It stems for a Buddhist tradition of really processing the flavor, the texture, the color, the aroma of what we put into our bodies. Me? I eat fast, too much of some stuff, not enough of others.... kg=hot mess. Therefore, I find this experiment intriguing. I also realize this means I have to try to harness one of the aspects of my being that I struggle with: patience.
I found it to be true when I read, “So many people now have found themselves in an adversarial relationship with food, which is very tragic,” Dr. Bays said. “Eating should be a pleasurable activity.”
According to the article, " the ingredient that helps mindful eating gain traction in mainstream American culture: flavor."
Take a look. Try it. Tell me what you think.
