Try Single-tasking While Eating - Mindful Meals challenge, powered by Compass One Healthcare - Day 6 Tip
Published
As a nurse, you’re used to multitasking. Noticing a patient’s call light while answering a coworker’s question and sanitizing your hands? No big deal. There are times when multitasking is necessary but during a meal is not one of them.
Multitasking clutters our thinking and makes us less productive. For mindful eating to work, you’ve got to be fully present with what you’re doing: eating. That means you can’t do multiple tasks at the same time, like watching TV or scrolling through social media on your phone.
During your meals today, try not to do anything except eat. Focus on bringing the food to your mouth, chewing, swallowing, and nourishing your body. Turn off the television, phone, tablet, computer, or anything with a screen. Make eating an exclusive event.
If you’re enjoying this challenge, use the social media links on the left side of your page to share it with a nurse and invite them to join Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation!
