Mindfulness Over Matter
We have all been there before at the dawn of a new year. Optimistically declaring new paths to take in the new year. To be kinder, listen more, practice patience…and of course, the age old, eat healthier, lose weight, join a gym declarations. We decide to diet and hit the gym frequently, but let’s admit it, by March or April (when our lives get back into serious busy modes) the reality of a healthier diet and regimented exercise may fly out the window.
On that note- I offer you a new approach to better health and eating. A mindful one. These two articles posted within days of each other are a good start. One from CNN titled “Can Mindfulness Curb Overeating” and from CBS News “Mindfulness is the Key to Losing Weight While Eating Out“.
Maybe once we take the pressure off our ourselves to achieve physical transformations, whether it be through diet or exercise- we can easily, comfortably, adopt new ways of eating.
Don’t starve yourself. Don’t sign up for a gym membership if you know you won’t use it. Why not nourish yourself by signing up for a Mindfulness Meditation class to help you harness this natural, simple power and soon, I am sure, you will see happy results.
Happy, healthy, new year to you all.
