Food is to be ENJOYED!

Whatever you are about to eat, take time to really enjoy it. Feel it fill all of your senses, nourish all of your cells. Appreciate how it got to your table, all the people that were part of the process - the farmers, the delivery workers, grocery store employees, and then yourself! Give gratitude, and enjoy! 

PS! It takes a few minutes for your stomach to really appreciate you are full, so try to sit for a few minutes to let it soak in. Instead of getting straight up. This was one of the hardest things for me to learn. I was such a - eat, and get up and do something else right away - kind of person. Can you relate? Or eat while doing something else. I’m all about maximizing my time, people! I have stuff to do and places to go! :)

The drawback of that was that I never really felt full, or nourished - you know that feeling where you just feel happy in all cells of your body. Yeah, if you never take TIME to enjoy your meals or quiet moments in life in general, you don't give your body a moment to process everything that just happened. So do yourself a favor and slow down when you eat!
