Mindfulness,
and more specifically mindful eating, isn't a new concept. In fact,
it is centuries old and based on the Eastern concept of mindfulness
or “pure awareness.” If you are eating mindfully, you
are aware and attentive to all dimensions of eating. It includes
mindfulness of the mind, body, thoughts and feelings.
Mindful eating: is about being conscious of why you are eating. Are you hungry? Are you tired? Are you bored? There is no menu or recipes to follow. It's about learning HOW and WHY you eat, and less about WHAT you eat. When you are so closely in touch with what
is going on inside, you know the exact moment you are satisfied
rather than stuffed or starving. To understand the why, what, when
and how we eat, we have to be compassionate and nonjudgmental. This allows us to take a closer look at our behavior.
