Mindfulness is the act of paying attention. You are aware of your decisions, what you are doing, and how you are feeling.
You are not overly obsessed with what you eat but you are not saying “screw it” and eating whatever the heck comes across your sight.
Mindfulness requires you to understand yourself.
Mindfulness requires you to trust the process + yourself.
Trust the process – it’s not one mess up and you’re done. This takes patience, consistency, and PRACTICE!!
Trust yourself – you are able to go to a function or friend’s house and choose to eat moderately and mindfully.
As Benjamin Franklin said, “there are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”
Being mindful of what you eat and how you feel take practice and requires you to actively make a choice.
BUT, the more you understand your body and the food that fuels it – eating well and moving more does begin to become automated.
In my new 12-week nutrition coaching program we dive into mindfulness, moderation, self-care, and so much more. If you are interested in learning more and joining, let me know!
