To satisfy emotional needs, reduce stress, or combat unpleasant feelings such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, or boredom, eating mindfully is the opposite of this unhealthy “conscious” eating.

And it’s not about strict rules about how many calories you can eat or what foods should or shouldn’t be in your diet. It’s about focusing and being present with all your senses while cooking, serving and eating.

How to learn to eat mindfully

1. To learn mindfulness, you must participate in activities with full attention. Drive yourself for mental food while reading, talking on the phone, watching TV, daydreaming, or doing something later. When your mind wanders, slowly bring your attention back to your food and the experience of preparing, serving and eating it.
2. Try practicing mental eating for five minutes at first, then gradually increase from there. And remember. When you’re making shopping lists or browsing restaurant menus, you can eat mindfully. Carefully review each item you add to your list or select from a list.
3. Start by taking a deep breath and thinking about the health benefits of each food. While nutritionists are always arguing about which foods are “healthy” and which are unhealthy. The best rule of thumb is to get as close as possible to how nature did it.
4. Use all your senses when shopping, cooking, serving and eating. Food looks, smells and feels cut. What sounds do you make while cooking?
5. Match your appetite. How hungry are you? I want to come to the table hungry. But I don’t want to go hungry after fasting. Know your intention to eat food. You eat because you are really hungry, bored and want to distract yourself. Or do you think you should?
6. Keep your food to yourself and before you eat, take a moment to appreciate the food and the people you eat with. Pay attention to texture, size, color, smell of food. How do you react to food and how does it smell?
7. Notice how it feels in your mouth after you take a bite. How would you describe the texture? Try to identify all species. Pay attention to how it cooks and how it feels when all the different flavors are cooked properly.
8. Notice how your experience changes from one moment to the next. Does it sound perfect? Are you satisfied? Take your time and be where you are, don’t rush.
9. Place the pan on the floor while cooking. Before you pull out your tools again, take a moment to think about how you feel (hungry, full). Listen to your stomach, not your plate.
10. Express gratitude and think about the source of your food. Related plants and animals and all the people who have to move food and put it on your plate. This helps you to make smart and sustainable decisions.
11. Keep eating slowly. Also pay attention to your body’s signals of fullness when you interact with your dinner companions. If you eat alone, come and eat with us.

Integrate mindful eating into your life.
