5 Ways to Enjoy Dinner Again

Distractions like TV, bills, and newspapers maybe responsible for many people not seeing how much they are eating at one sitting.

1. Clear the table of everything. 

2. Create a spot for your mail. It belongs somewhere else besides your kitchen table.

3. Avoid television and reading while you eat. A distracted brain leads to a distracted stomach that has a hard time telling you are full.

4. Serve individual courses. Serve your salad, then serve your entrée. Keep the extras on the stove or kitchen counter.

5.  Savor.  Many people report that, with mindfulness, they learn to really savor the experience of eating and, paradoxically, feel full after just a few mindful bites.

 

Which dinner table would you rather dine at? A cluttered space equals a cluttered mind!
