Your Actions for Today
Shift your perspective of mealtime from a routine task to a mindful experience. Foster gratitude for the intricate journey of your food. You can do that with these steps:
- Farm-to-fork reflection: Before your first bite, think about the different stages your meal went through — the nurturing on the farm, the hands involved in harvesting, the way it was transported to the store, and the meticulous preparation.
- Express gratitude: Whether silently or aloud, express gratitude for the sustenance before you. Acknowledge the efforts that made it possible.
- Mindful chewing: Slow down your pace, savoring each bite. Pay attention to textures and flavors, immersing yourself in the culinary experience. This deepens your connection with food and aids digestion — a win-win.
Grow your gratitude — discover how being thankful can help you become happier and healthier.
