Mindfulness Daily Check-In October 12,2017
Good morning everyone
So for today, I thought we would talk on being mindful in eating. Yes eating-geeez we talking about food again
Yes I am!! How many of us are really mindful of preparing what we are going to eat? How many of us are mindful deciding a plate or a bowl? How many of us are mindful of actually sitting down and chewing and tasting our food?
I know I'am guilty of not doing this. Normally I am on some form of electronic getting back to some email or finishing some paper work for work, Netflixing or something. So in truth maybe 1 hour later I am wondering did I eat and what
So for today what is some way you are going to be eating or snacking or drinking mindfully? Share with us

For today's breakfast I'm having a cup of coffee and here I'd like to Quote Agent Cooper, 'it's a damn good cup of coffee!'.
I like to have it with tiny bit of milk and one sugar. In UK we drink it with milk, not cream.
I work behind the bar and I serve people all sorts of coffee but I only enjoy the one I make myself at home.
I love it when it's really hot and it hits the throat and this is when my tastebuds start to recognize this familiar taste.
Drinking coffee only feels good when you can enjoy it in relaxing environment. Rushing it is like wasting it. When I drink my coffee I think of the people I serve coffee at work and how they feel.
I need to add that I just ruined it by dunking a chocolate digestive in it for too long and a bit of buscuit fell into the cup. Oh well.

HI Sky good to see you in check in today hahahaha I so say that about my coffee too!! Wow you work around coffee wow your lucky. I like how you said the one you make yourself you enjoy- that is good. I believe you just did mindfulness as you described the coffee being hot and how it awakens your taste buds.I also like how you associate drinking coffee with serving others. I really liked your sharing today. Also my next cup of coffee Ill be thinking of what you shared here.
All I had was milk. I dislike eating to be honest...
I'm going to try and at least prepare my breakfast mindfully. I'll need to wash a bowl for granola and soy milk. And a plate for cut up fruit.
@Zeraphim
Zeraphim, we are almost having the same breakfast, i just use almond milk. i find it so nice to feel the crushing of the granola between my teeth.
Ooooh I am always feeling mindful when I am drinking my tea.
Just holding a hot drink in my hands makes me feel really comfortable, and I really pay attention to what I am doing. I think about the smell (if it's coffee the scent is heavenly) and how the drink tastes, how I am feeling.
It's a little way that always helps me to check in with myself, and while I'm drinking it I always feel peaceful :)
