While you're eating, do you usually look at your cell phone or computer, watch TV and let your mind wander around? How about enjoying the meal to bring your focus to what you're eating? Invite your attention to notice the aromas and flavors present in your dish. Taste each of the ingredients individually, chewing them calmly, differentiating the textures, the way the flavors manifest themselves on the palate. One bite at a time, one bite at a time. This practice helps you to be present in what you do and to fully enjoy what you experience.
