Mindful eating is a gradual process. It can take time to become accustomed to sitting down to enjoy food rather than grabbing whatever is handy so that you can move on to other things.

Mindful Eating
Before you take your first bite, pause to appreciate what you are about to eat. Look at the food. Once you start eating, eat slowly and chew slowly so that you can appreciate the flavor.

Mindful Eating
You are more likely to be mindful while eating if you eat on a regular schedule so that you do not skip meals and become overly hungry.

Mindful Eating
Mindful eating will allow you to discover the reasons that you eat other than physical hunger such as boredom or stress. A study done recently showed that if people were given stale popcorn while standing in line for the theater, they universally recognized that it was not good. But if given stale popcorn during the movie that very few people recognized that it was stale. Their minds were focused on the movie and not on the quality of the popcorn.

Daily Habits that Cause Pain
Crane your head to scroll on your phone. You may give yourself tech neck. This can cause neck and jaw pain, or even headaches.
Your neck was meant to support your head looking straight forward, not looking down at a phone in your lap.
Don’t overcompensate either, putting your phone up above your head so you have to look at it while looking up can cause neck pain too.
Try to keep your phone straight ahead or slightly lower if you lower your chin just slightly.
If you’re experiencing pain, schedule an appointment for a neuromuscular massage.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 160 decorating-related injuries happen every day during the holiday season, with more than half involving falls.
When putting up or taking down decorations, use the right ladder for the job, and make sure the ladder is secure before climbing.
Before hosting guests, make certain that walkways are well-lighted and that they are clear of ice, snow or leaf debris that can become slippery when wet.
If you have decorations that require power, make certain that you use weighted strips that will both conceal and hold steady any electrical cords that can be a tripping hazard.
