I have always loved food. Let’s face it, there are times where I can be quite gluttonous. It’s really only been in this past year where I have learned to slow down, enjoy and be mindful of the food I am eating. I still have my moments, just now I devoured an apple while writing this so I can get it done in my lunch break. I am getting better though I swear!
I think part of why it is working for me this year is I have been cooking more, a lot more! It is easier to be mindful of your eating if you are mindfully preparing it. I find it more enjoyable to cook with others as well, you feel more connected to the meal you are enjoying if you had a hand in the preparation and the sense of accomplishing something together is like nothing else. I have also learned a great deal about it and I am more confident in my ability. It is a life skill that everyone should know how to do.
I appreciate my food more now. Even if I am just a guest at someone’s house and didn’t get a chance to contribute, it is easier to recognize the work that has been put into it.
Take care everyone!
