Why does practicing mindfulness in your eating habits help you connect with yourself? Anytime we practice mindfulness we are becoming or being aware of what our bodies are telling us. This is looking for the deeper awareness in the body’s hunger or fullness cues and means you are eating with intention, not just on emotions.

As we talk in this episode, we are focusing on how you can stay in the moment instead of being in past or in the future. This is because when you dwell in the past, it isn’t going to change what has happened. This one can be a hard one, but it is important for our eating habits to be established.

• In this podcast episode, we aim for you to gain insight into what mindfulness truly means, explore self-connections, and understand how these elements influence your nutritional well-being.

Call to action: I encourage you to focus on eating without distractions this week! Additionally, consider joining the Rediscover Your Intentional Self Retreat in March to gain valuable tools that will help you connect with your habits.
