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.

Mindful eating is paying full attention to the experience of eating. Eating while pushing aside other thoughts and feelings will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of your eating habits.

The key to mindful eating is to be present, show gratitude for the food you have, and slowing down enough to savor your food.

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.

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.
Home fires are common during the holidays, many the result of holiday lighting.
Test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly and replace any that have stopped working.
Keep live trees adequately watered. If you can pull needles from a tree with little effort, the tree needs more water.
If you’re using an artificial tree make certain that it is fire rated.
Look carefully at all strings of lights before you hang them. Replace any with frayed wiring. Covering frayed wires with electrical tape isn’t worth the risk to your home.
One of the hazards of the holidays is theft. Robberies increase by 20% in December most years, and with the uptick in crime nationwide in the past 2 years, it may be higher this year.
To protect yourself, make certain you lock doors and windows in your car and your home. Check the doors and windows that aren’t used very often–garage side doors, back doors, basement windows.
Never leave your car running and return to the house even for a few minutes. A running car is a perfect crime of opportunity.

Consider hiring some help. If you need help with housekeeping before a big event in your home, consider hiring someone to help with the cleaning, outdoor clean up, or snow shoveling.

Stay active, but not overly active. Say yes to events you can attend, and say no to those you cannot. Don’t fill your schedule so much that you don’t have time for you.
