Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gorgeous people, Welcome back to self love affirmations for women.
I'm your girl, Rachel Carter and let me tell you
today's topic is a juicy one. Mindful eating. Now before
you click away, thinking ah, another lecture about Kale's smoothies,
hear me out. This isn't just about what you put
on your plate. It's about cultivating a whole new relationship

(00:20):
with food, a relationship built on awareness, kindness, and yes,
even a little bit of pleasure. Because let's be real,
we all deserve to enjoy our meals, right, but sometimes
the way we eat can get well kind a messy.
We scarf down our lunch at our desks, mindlessly munch
chips while scrolling through Instagram, or gilt ourselves into skipping

(00:41):
meals altogether. Sound familiar ever, felt like you're just going
through the motions, barely tasting your food and then feeling
bloated in blow afterwards. That's where mindful eating comes in
to save the day. Think of it as a reset
button for your relationship with food. It's about bringing intention
and awareness to every bite, save each flavor, and listening
to your body's cues. So let's dive into five key

(01:05):
takeaways that will totally transform your eating habits, and trust me,
your body and mind will thank you. First, up, slow down, Buttercup,
seriously take your time with every meal. Put down your phone,
step away from the computer screen, and actually engage with
your food. Notice the textures, the aromas, the colors. It's
like a mini meditation session for your taste buds. When

(01:27):
you slow down, you give your body time to register
fullness cues, preventing overeating in those dreaded postmeal cramps. Next,
chew your food like you mean it. This isn't just
about polite table manners. It's about maximizing digestion and nutrient absorption.
Aim for at least twenty choose per bite. Yes, really,
the more you chew, the easier it is for your

(01:48):
body to break down food, extract nutrients, and send happy
signals to your brain. You'll feel lighter, energized and way
less sluggish afterwards. Third, listen to your body's wisdom. Ever,
Notice the feeling of fullness creeping in before you finish
your plate. That's your body telling you it's had enough
time to stop. Practice. Paying attention to those subtle cues

(02:08):
instead of mindlessly shoveling food into your mouth until you're bursting.
Number four, embrace the power of gratitude. Before you take
that first bite, pause for a moment and express gratitude
for the nourishment in front of you. Acknowledge the farmers,
the cooks, and all the hands involved in bringing this
meal to your table. This simple act can shift your
mindset from deprivation to appreciation, making every bite more enjoyable. And, last,

(02:33):
but not least, be kind to yourself. Remember, mindful eating
is a journey, not a destination. There will be days
when you slip up, grab that bag of chips out
of pure habit, or mindlessly scroll through social media while snacking.
That's okay. Just acknowledge it, learn from it, and gently
guide yourself back on track. The key is to keep
practicing and showing yourself compassion along the way. All right,

(02:57):
let me paint you a picture with this real world example.
Imagine your having lunch at your favorite cafe. Instead of
grabbing your phone to check emails or scrolling through social media,
put it away. Focus on the aroma of your freshly
brewed coffee, the vibrant colors of your salad, and the
satisfying crunch of each bite. Really savor the flavors, the
tanginess of the dressing, the sweetness of the tomatoes, the

(03:19):
earthy taste of the spinach. Notice how your body feels
with each mouthful, full, satisfied, energized. You're not just eating,
You're experiencing a delicious moment of mindful nourishment. So there
you have it. Five powerful takeaways to transform your relationship
with food and unlock the incredible benefits of mindful eating.
Remember it's all about cultivating awareness, kindness, and joy in

(03:42):
every bite. Let me know what resonates with you in
this episode. Share your mindful eating experiences on social media
using hashtag mindful with Rachel. I'd love to hear from you.
Until next time. Keep shining bright and remember you are
absolutely worthy of nourishment and self love. Catch you in
the next episode. This podcast is created with the help
