We're switching it up just a bit this week, folks. Mindful eating is an interesting challenge in and of itself. Eating mindfully assists us on so many levels. If we take the time to really appreciate our food, whatever it is, for exactly what it is, then it assists to enhance our experience of it.
As you are eating, notice the texture of each bite. Are there particular flavors which you notice more than others? Attempt to notice each separate element which is a part of your food.
As we begin to eat mindfully, we may notice that we become satiated long before we may have imagined, either in our bellies or our minds.
Try this: Take three raising and set them each in front of you. Take the first raisin and simply eat it. Take the second raisin and with your fingers, notice it's texture. Smell the raisin. Roll it between your fingertips. Place the raisin in your mouth and notice its texture with your tongue. Squish it between your tongue and the roof of your mouth. Roll it around. Swallow the raisin. Lastly, simply eat the third raisin. What do you notice? Was your experience similar to that of the first, or was it slightly different? How?
This week's challenge is to eat one mead a day, mindfully.
