I am pleased to hear that mindfulness is something more people are really getting into at the moment. I was having dinner with some friends at the weekend when it came up as a topic in conversation. It was mentioned that some of our friends are into practicing mindfulness. We discussed the importance of the act of mindful eating, how you should eat your food slowly so that you enjoy the taste and the sensations of each mouthful, chewing your food well before swallowing. It aids the digestion and keeps you present and enjoying the moment.
So what is mindfulness? Simply put, when you are mindful you
are conscious of what you are doing. You are thoughtful of yourself and others
and you don’t act without thinking.
