January is World Mindful Eating Month. While a dedicated month is a great way to call attention to this specific type of mindfulness practice, the reality is that mindful eating has benefits 365 days a year.
I just finished creating an Audible Original course on mindful eating (via Wondrium, formerly known as The Great Courses), which I’m excited about. I’m also excited about re-sharing a mindful eating blog series I wrote in 2019, which feels like an alternate lifetime ago.
- The true benefits of mindful eating. In this, the first in a five-part series on mindfulness and mindful eating, I’ll talk about the true mindful eating benefits, which often aren’t obvious.
- What is mindfulness, and how can it benefit you? It’s impossible to talk about mindful eating without talking about mindfulness itself, so in this post I give you an overview of what mindfulness is, and what it can do.
- Mindful eating tips: strategies for real life. The difference between mindful and mindless eating, plus two mindful eating practices (one full, one mini) and additional mindful eating resources.
- Getting started with mindfulness meditation. In this post, I give you some tips and tools to start practicing mindfulness meditation on your own, or with some guidance.
- Mindful eating definition: Questions and Answers. I take a stab at answering some common questions I get about mindful eating, including how it differs from intuitive eating.
Coming soon!
To continue the mindful eating train, next week I’ll write about a subject that’s been bouncing around my brain for a while: Why mindful eating isn’t the same as “careful” eating.
