The Benefits of Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindful eating and exercise are two practices that can be easily incorporated into our daily lives to promote wellbeing.
Mindful eating involves paying attention to the experience of eating by engaging all of our senses and being present in the moment. This means taking the time to savor our food, noticing the smell, taste, texture, and appearance of each bite. By eating mindfully, we can develop a healthier relationship with food, avoid overeating and improve our digestion.
Mindful exercise involves paying attention to our body and the sensations that arise during physical activity. This means being present in the moment and focusing on the experience of exercise rather than just going through the motions. By being mindful during exercise, we can improve our form, prevent injuries and enjoy the experience of physical activity more fully.
For example, when going for a walk, try to focus on the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the feeling of the wind on your skin and the sounds of nature around you. By doing so, you'll be able to appreciate the experience of walking more fully and reap the benefits of being present in the moment. Similarly, when having a meal, take the time to chew your food slowly, focus on the flavors and textures of each bite, and pay attention to how your body feels after eating. By doing so, you'll be more likely to make healthier food choices and avoid overeating.
