REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity Eat Mindfully

Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

However, I am finding that I eat very fast and I don't spend much time at the table, because I am still distracted, thinking about what's on social media, etc. This month I hope to focus on eating slower and savoring my food because I think that is a part of mindful eating as well.
