Back to school, back to work…and lots of planning. Mindful eating doesn’t mean “just wing it”. Especially if it means not feeling good about or enjoying what you’re eating.

Mindful Meal Planning Tips:

1. Set the intention as convenience, nourishment, and pleasure, not rigid control or dieting.

2. Think of your plan as a sketch, not a completed picture.

3. Shop, prepare, and eat mindfully.

4. Rethink or modify your plan if it stresses you out or the approach limits spontaneity, flexibility, living, and above all, joy.

Love food. Live life. Have fun!
