Can You Eat Mindfully in a Social Setting? Practice mindful eating in social settings
Eating mindfully when in social settings, such as when you’re at a party or a restaurant, can be a bit more challenging than when you’re dining at home. Not only do you have less control over food options, but there are many more distractions and social pressures, which can be intimidating.
However, with the tools you’ve gained throughout this challenge, you can use mindful eating techniques in any situation.
For today’s challenge, you’ll be trying to eat mindfully in a more public setting. This can be dining at a restaurant with friends or co-workers or visiting the home of a family member or friend.
When you’re in a social setting where food is being served, try applying the mindful eating practices that you’ve learned over the past weeks such as:
-
savoring the flavor of food
-
eating slowly
-
acknowledging food triggers
-
honoring and accepting your feelings surrounding certain foods
Try making a list of each practice on your phone and setting reminders on your phone to check in.
After you’ve returned home, reflect on how your eating behaviors in social situations have changed since engaging in mindful eating practices.
Were you able to eat more mindfully and appreciate your food without guilt? Were you able to stop eating when you felt satisfied?
