Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Logan Crew's here back with another dose of
the stoic life. Ever feel like you're just mindlessly gobbling
down food, barely tasting it. We've all been there, right.
It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and
bustle of life, shoving whatever we can into our mouths,
find meetings and errands. But what if I told you
that eating even something as simple as lunch or dinner

(00:21):
could actually be a powerful till for managing your mental health.
You heard me right. Mindful eating isn't just about what
you consume. It's about how you consume it. It's about
bringing awareness to every bite and truly savoring the experience.
And trust me, this isn't some habit, it be fad.
There's actual science behind it. Studies show that mindful eating
can reduce stress, anxiety, and even depression. It can also

So if you're ready to ditch the mindless munching and
unlock the power of mindful eating, stick around today. We're
diving deep into five key takeaways that will transform your
relationship with food and leave you feeling cod more confident,
and absolutely in control. First out, pay attention to your

(01:05):
hunger cues. Really listen to your body. Are you truly
hungry or just bored, stressed or emotional? Before you reach
for a snack, take a moment to check in with yourself.
Ask am I physically hungry? Or am I eating out
of habit? This simple act of awareness can prevent countless
unecessary calories and help you develop a healthy relationship with food. Next,

(01:28):
savor every bite, Pit down your phone, turn off the TV,
and create a peaceful environment for your meal. Engage all
your senses. Notice the colors, textures, smells, and sounds of
your food shoe slowly and deliberately, appreciating each flavor as
it unfolds on your tongue. You'll find that not only
does the food taste better, but you're also most satisfied

(01:49):
with smaller portions. Here's another powerful one, practice gratitude. Before
you dig in, take a moment to appreciate the nourishment
your fruit provides. Thank the farmers, the cooks, and everyone
involved in bringing it to your table. This simple act
of gratitude can shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance
and enhance your overall enjoyment of the meal. Now be

(02:10):
kind to yourself. Mindful eating is a journey, not a destination.
There will be days when you slip up and find
yourself mindlessly munching away. That's okay. Just acknowledge it, forgive yourself,
and get back on track with your next meal. Remember progress,
not perfection, is the key. Finally, listen to your body signals.

(02:31):

physically and emotionally. De Certain foods leave you feeling sluggish
or irritable. Maybe you know this an increase in anxiety
after consuming caffeine or sugar. By tuning into these subtle cues,
you can stop to identify patents and make choices that
support your overall well being. Let me paint you a picture.

(02:52):
Imagine this. It's Friday night and your craven takeout. You
know that cheesey pizza is calling your name, but instead
of ordering in without thinking, you take a moment to
check in with yourself. You ask, am I truly hungry
or just bored from the week. You realize you haven't
been very active lately and could use some exercise, So
instead of pizza, you whip up a healthy salad with

(03:15):
grilled chicken and enjoy it mindfully, savoring each bite and
appreciating the freshness of the ingredients. After eat your meal,
you put on a favorite workout playlist and have a
great dance session in your living room. You end the
night filling, energized, satisfied, and proud of yourself from making
a conscious choice that supports both your physical and mental health.
D Mindful eating isn't about deprivation. It's about making choices

(03:38):
that nourish your body and mind. It's about finding joy
and satisfaction in every bite, cultivating a deeper connection with
yourself and the fruit you consume. So remember these key takeaways.
