Episode 2915:

Eating is often treated as a secondary task, but Dr. Jenny Brockis highlights how practicing mindfulness can transform our relationship with food. By slowing down and truly engaging our senses, whether with a sultana or a meal, we can improve attention, recognize satiety cues, and derive greater enjoyment from what we eat. Mindful eating isn't just about savoring flavors; it's a simple yet powerful way to enhance focus and reconnect with the present moment.

Quotes to ponder:

"It took probably all of 10–15 minutes to eat that sultana. Mindfully."

"Mindfulness is a way of engaging fully in the present moment. It is a way of quietening down the frenetic mind, which is forever busy thinking about the past and predicting the future."

"By pausing to enjoy the moment, we enhance our ability to pay attention."
