Getting control of my eating habits has showed me that our approach to eating is just as important as the food itself.
With all of the advice out there of exactly what you should be eating, there must be something holding you back from actually doing that.
One important reason is mindless.
What is mindless eating? When you're not fully engaged in what you're eating, you are starting to eat mindlessly.
If the TV is on, you're sitting at your computer, or even driving, you have stopped being in control of the food you eat.
The notion of grabbing a 'quick bite' is also a sign that your brain has turned off to the food in your life.
But I'm so busy, why should I give more attention to my eating? You'll Be More Grateful Mindless eating ignores the importance of food in your life.
Your brain becomes turned off the the power inside food that keeps you alive.
Your job may be important.
So may your spouse and kids.
But imagine one day without food for yourself or your family.
It's so easy to take food for granted.
However, growing in your spiritual approach to nutrition means using one of the most powerful emotions in the universe - gratitude.
The more gratitude you have, the more your food serves you.
You'll Have More Control When you eat mindlessly, you've lost control of your eating habits.
Being the one with authentic power means not waking up one morning to a body you can't stand.
Control what you eat in a positive way and you will never be the victim.
You'll Be More In The Present Moment Savoring your food, enjoying it, and recognizing all that it does for you is a positive, life affirming experience.
If you focus on the sense of taste, it can bring you much more into the present moment to see what's happening around you.
This behavior not only changes how you eat but also the way you live your entire life.
