being mindful

Just planting a seed of this concept, which I use frequently in my work... 
To unpack in the days to come!

  1. Thanks you for this...it is my new desktop...and on my iPad....and on my phone. Perhaps this is my next tattoo. I have lost 50 pounds on an 80 pound journey. When people ask how I say I am eating my mindfully. I received very quizzical looks. I explain I simply am present when I eat, enjoy the food and appreciate the company then I move on. Difficult to grasp, easy to execute.

    1. darci, thanks for sharing -- so glad / impressed to hear how you have been experimenting with mindfulness in your life (& seeing the results of it) ! what motivated you to try this approach?

      we are so trained to eat "mindlessly" (on the go, in front of the TV, etc.) that it is becoming harder & harder to be mindful with food. but so important for health & enjoyment!

  2. I honestly did not realize that this was my approach until people starting commenting on my progress, and I needed to have a response to "How are you doing it? What is the magic?" I began my adventure when I had went to stay with my daughter in her college housing apartment for 2 weeks as she rehab through knee surgery. I needed to get out of the apartment so I would walk a 3 mile loop around campus...add this to the simple eating of college life - no expensive snacks, cookies or left overs hanging around - and I lost 5 pounds. Upon returning home I continued the trend, modifying the food selections and adding variety to the exercise routine. Through it all I realized that I was becoming more aware of what was going into my body and how it affected me. It has been a journey.
