Mindful eating is intentional eating, done slowly and with a sense of gratitude.
- It helps us discern the difference between physical hunger and emotional need.
- It gives us time to realize when we’re full.
- We’re much more likely to eat for the right reasons and choose healthy foods.
Portico staff created this table tent as a simple visual cue you can use daily to establish a mindful eating practice.
Small Step: Put up a Mindful Eating Table Tent
Print out this downloadable table tent, fold it into thirds, and put it on your tabletop. Review the two sides of the table tent before and as you eat. Chew slowly and take a centering breath after you swallow one bite and before the next. Make room for gratitude. Be present with your mind and body.
