Eat your meal free from distractions! No TV!

For some of us, this may be the most challenging exercise. Here it is: As you eat, avoid using your phone or computer, don’t read books or magazines, and keep the TV off. You may however have some meditation music playing in the background (see our link to Meditation for the Soul Youtube channel below for some great music.)

This is a tough challenge. Most people eat with some distraction going on, be it TV, phone, book, radio or computer. Make a real effort to keep all of those away today. Take notes in your diary.

A review of 24 studies found that distractions led people to consume more calories during a meal. It also caused them to eat more food later in the day. 

So if you are looking to lose a few kilo's or pounds don't watch TV while you eat! 

Enjoy!

EAT SLOWLY TODAY!

Don't rush your meals today. Adjust your alarm to give yourself more than enough time to prepare and enjoy breakfast. Before you begin each meal, take a few deep breaths to centre yourself. 

Tips for eating slowly

Pause and put your fork down between each bite. As you eat, continue to be aware of your breathing as you become full. After you’ve taken a few bites of food, try to take smaller bites than you were when you first started eating. If it’s too hard for you to slow down for your entire meal, aim to eat slow for the first five minutes of your meal.

Remember that mindfulness is all about slowing down, being aware of your feelings and thought process, and being present in the moment — and really enjoying every bite of food! 

Don't forget to journal your thoughts!

Day 2 of the Mindful Eating Challenge.

Today we focus on the texture of your food.

Make sure you chew thoroughly to enjoy all the different textures. As you chew, consider these questions: (don't forget to write them in your journal!)

• How does the food feel inside your mouth?
• Does it have one consistent texture or a few?
• How warm or cold is the food?
• Is it easy to bite into or do you need to break it down by chewing?
• Are you craving certain textures? (Think crunchy, chewy, etc.)
• How do you feel about the texture of your food?

Set reminders so you remember to be mindful during your mealtimes.

Let me know how you went today!

Welcome to your July Mindful eating challenge!

Mindful helps us focus on the present moment and being aware of your senses while consuming food. It can help you manage your eating habits and feel better about your body.

Here’s how the challenge works: Each day, I will do a podcast with a specific challenge designed to coach you on an important aspect of mindful eating.

What you will need is a journal to take notes each day to answer questions and note down how you feel about certain parts of your food habits.

So whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner doesn't matter, just focus on the food.

For today’s challenge, I will help you dissect the flavours that help create a food’s overall taste. Here are a few questions to get you thinking:

• Which different flavours do you taste?

• Do they have a salty side to them? How about sweet?

• Does your food taste differently when you first taste it? Does it have an aftertaste? If so, what is it?

Write down your answers in your journal after eating. You can also write down how you feel too.

That's day one and I look forward to day 2!

In this episode I discuss the ways we can pull ourselves up when we feel down. And we all feel down at times!

Two real obstacles are weakness of attention and poverty of imagination!

Just ask Bob Proctor! You conquer these two and you can do anything. However the key is knowing what you want. 

Enjoy this one!

In this episode I talk about what happens when you take massive action. And what happens when you don't.

Taking action is a discipline and it needs to be directed the right way not random action.

I really like the message in this episode. Listen and enjoy.
