  • #25 - One Tip That Totally Improved My Wellbeing During Lockdown
    A big tip that helps my well-being during lockdown is disconnecting. To be specific, disconnect from my devices while eat and sleep. Let's talk about the first one.
    Eating and scrolling was my default - I always need to find something to do. Checking social media, posting photos on social, watching videos, or listening to podcasts...so many things to do while eating!
    I noticed how my mobile shaped my behavior and thinking and decided to fight back. I've tried mindfulness eating, and it changed the way I used to eat. Eating becomes a way of recharging myself, both on body and soul. As there are three times per day to recharge, the benefits are continuous.
    It's easy - just eat when you are eating. Look at your food, smell them, taste them and eat them. Just connect to them, rather than connect to your device, news, or emails. Try it today, it's only 20-30 minutes.

    Sincere beats seriousity.
    Don't start from scratch.
