Your transformative journey for 2024 really must have self-care plans in place for nourishing your Physical Plane body through mindful eating. Let’s explore the profound impact of nutrition on both your Mental and Physical Planes. Say goodbye to restrictive diets and let’s elevate your plate to make meals amazing.
It is time to embrace the joy and vitality that colorful, nutrient-rich meals can bring to your life.
Mindful eating goes beyond consuming food that society and the business industry suggest you must love. I suggest taking a holistic approach to nourishing your Physical Plane body and your Mental Plane mind. Instead of fixating on restrictive diets, shift your focus to the quality of your meals. The colors on your plate are not just visually appealing; they signify a diverse range of nutrients that contribute to your overall well-being. By making mindful food choices, you are laying the foundation for a healthier and more vibrant life. A happy NOW.
Here are some practical suggestions for mindful, healthy, enjoyable, delicious eating adventures!
Savor Each Bite: Take the time to truly taste and enjoy your food. Put away distractions, chew slowly, and appreciate the textures and flavors. This simple practice enhances your overall dining experience.
My mother, who is in her late 90s, chews each bite at least 50 times before swallowing. I try very hard to follow her lead because I’m known to preach to my grandchildren that “Digestion begins in the mouth, so slow down, create saliva to break down the bite, and taste your food.”
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Eat when you’re hungry, and stop when you’re satisfied. This intuitive approach fosters a healthier relationship with food and prevents overeating. Also, take note that many people think they are hungry when they are actually thirsty. Drink water first!
Embrace Variety: Introduce a spectrum of colors into your meals by incorporating a diverse range of fruits and vegetables. Each color represents a unique set of nutrients, ensuring your Physical Plane body receives a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals. Cool colors, unique tastes, diverse nutrition!
Cook with Love: Engage in the cooking process with mindfulness and gratitude. When you prepare your meals with care, you infuse positive energy into your food, making the eating experience more satisfying. You can also expand your appreciation and gratitude for all you have in your abundant NOW.
Mindful Meal Planning: Plan your meals in advance, considering nutritional balance. This not only ensures you have wholesome options readily available but also reduces the likelihood of impulsive, less nutritious choices. Planning your purchases eliminates having junk food in your space, too!
