Mindful eating places awareness on the menu, whenever and wherever we eat. As well as making us watchful about what we eat, it aims to transform our relationship with food by focusing on the how and why of eating, encouraging a more holistic point of view. Ultimately, this means we have a better chance of understanding what foods nourish us and what foods help us stay healthy while also encouraging a deeper appreciation of every meal, every mouthful, and every ingredient . . . . . .

Cooking. For many, it can sound like a chore, especially for parents who are always rustling up some dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But even if you love cooking, where is your mind while preparing the ingredients? Or when stirring the soup or sauce? Cooking doesn’t have to be a rushed experience, or something we do on auto-pilot, distracted by thoughts, feelings, and inner-dialogue. In fact, of all the tasks we do in our daily lives, cooking offers a wonderful opportunity for us to train the mind to be present . . . . . .

The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. Being comfortable and confident in our own skin makes that relationship easier and more enjoyable. When we feel good, we take pleasure in life and the things our body lets us experience. But when we struggle with our body image, we might find that relationship gets tricky. Moving through our days confidently or caring for ourselves can be challenging . . . . . .
