Mindful Meal moment
My mindful 21 day journey started yesterday with a mindful meal. I chose lunch, as I was alone with no-one to distract me from being really present for each bite.
I had tinned chicken soup and a roll. I noticed I was fidgety wanting to do other 'stuff' like check emails, whilst eating. Typical of my lunches, often on the fly, and most certainly more a 'fuel' to keep going as opposed to connecting with my food as a nourishing way to care for my body and health!
Being actually aware of my lunch and present while I ate it, was actually quite enlightening.
Visualising the journey my tinned soup probably went on, prior to ending up in my bowl, made me feel the need to honour my body better with what I put in it and has reinforced the whisper I keep getting to start eating better!
I am grateful for having the food, for all those who contributed to making it and getting it to the shop and then my lunch bowl, however I will be working towards a 'cleaner' more home grown diet this year.
