Wondering how to partake in delicious holiday foods without gaining 10 lbs or tossing your health goals aside until the new year? Try mindful eating. Mindful eating can eliminate overeating, overindulging, or obeying the thoughts that tell us to eat it all now and make up for it come January. When eating, slow down and pay attention to all five senses, your surroundings and especially your thoughts. Get into the holiday spirit and intentionally connect to your gratitude and appreciation for those with whom you are celebrating and you’ll naturally consume less while experiencing more joy and happiness.
