Eating without haste
When meals happen in front of a laptop or phone, it is easy to finish a plate before satiety signals have time to register. Mindful eating does not require silent meditation — it simply means giving a meal 15 unhurried minutes of attention.
Simple practices to try this week
- Step away from screens for at least one meal a day. Even a 12-minute lunch away from your desk resets mental pace.
- Put utensils down between bites once or twice during a meal to naturally slow your eating speed.
- Check in halfway through: Pause briefly to notice whether you are still genuinely hungry or simply eating out of momentum.
