Mindful Eating: Nourishing Your Body and Soul

Mindful Eating: Nourishing Your Body and Soul

Leave a Comment / Self development

Eating is something so common that we take the taste, feel and smell of our food for granted most times. I would gobble down my food, paying little attention to what was in my mouth, as I focused on TV screens or wandered in thoughts. However, the moment I came across the concept of mindful eating, everything was different. Food ceased being a means of sustenance only; it provided me with nourishment, comfort and I also learned to take care of myself through eating.

By engaging all the senses, mindful eating seeks to link us closely with what we consume through the body. This does not involve cutting back on food or following a certain kind of diet; rather it is the process whereby we learn how to pay attention to every morsel that we eat. Changing how we relate to what goes into our mouths can be achieved through a simple practice of being there and taking time while eating which will have positive effects on our digestion and emotional condition as well. This is my story about mindful eating which may offer some tips on feeding your body and enriching your innermost being.

Since I was young, I have had a keen interest in narratives and storytelling. These range from simple children stories to those stories about very important people which have always influenced my perception of things. Even with this entertainment, I have realized that reading stories in form of biographies can be very motivating.

It is inspiring to read about individuals who were able to conquer all odds and become great personalities. Biographies go beyond figures; they reveal the deepest secrets of geniuses. Such revelations of their downfalls as well as positivity over certain issues serve to create a sense that one can also make it like them if not even better. Overcoming personal challenges becomes easier through such lessons that are drawn from what other people have gone through, hence turning out to be an effective means of stoking one’s morale. This paper looks at how motivational life stories enclosed in biographies could enhance our determination, educate us on important subjects and also develop strength for overcoming difficulties experienced in our personal development.

Motivation is likened to the driving force behind one’s objective, although it is not always easy to keep it up using only personal strength. For this, one requires nurturing, motivation but more importantly; other people help. Personally, I have seen how important it is to keep motivated by surrounding yourself with positivity and supportive community. It can easily make us overlook the contribution of other people towards our personal achievements. With some supportive friends or people of the same mindset around, one may overcome many challenges of life.
