10 Steps to Mindful Eating
- Sit down and relax with your food
- Take a few breaths to bring you into the present
- Smell your food and reflect where it has come from
- Take a little piece and experience the taste
- Eat and chew, very slowly and deliberately
- No need to rush, enjoy each moment and taste
- Experience the sensations as you chew and gradually swallow
- Reflect on the experience in your body and mind…pause
- Observe the mind that wishes to rush, let it come and go
- Repeat the above steps
