Mindful eating: Extra texture attention

MINDFUL EATING Focus on the texture of your food. Chew thoroughly to enjoy each of the different textures. As you chew, consider these questions: How does the food feel inside your mouth? Does it have one consistent texture or a few? How warm or cold is the food? Is it easy to bite into or do you need to break it down by chewing? Are you craving certain textures? (Think crunchy, chewy, etc.) How do you feel about the texture of your food? Chewing thoroughly helped me to slow down. Chewing the food more also made it last a lot longer.

Set an alarm on your phone or computer, or just write your reminder on a sticky note and put it somewhere you'll easily see it.
