Draft post title

Want more mindfulness? Commit to eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner sitting down, without electronics or work. 

Spending at least 10 minutes to eat and digest your food.

I know that I am out of balance when I:

- eat my breakfast standing or in the car.

- wait until 2 pm to eat lunch.

- look in my phone while eating dinner.

Unclear short term gains - I guess I saved 5 minutes? 

Ver clear long term losses:

Stress. Indigestion. Loading on unhealthy snacks. Low energy. Weight gain.

There is something clearly off in my relationship with my body and my time if I can’t GIVE myself uninterrupted 10 minutes to sit down and eat.

A mindset of: Work is more important than my health. 

Also, I don’t want to eat undisrtracted because that’s when my body can get to me and let me know that I mistreated it.

- I overworked last night.

- I am going too fast and too aggressive after my goals.

- My neck hurts from too much typing.

- I are not hungry. I am sleep deprived.

Not something I want to hear.

But pressing mute button on messages from my body will lead to my health, well, being wasted. 

I commit to playing the game of life long term. 

Which means I will need my health for that. 

And I can’t have health if I don’t feed myself.

PS If you relate to this, please give yourself some kindness and slack. I am a full time meditation coach, and I struggle with this. It is not us, it is systemic neglect of the body wisdom. 

All we can do is recognize it and gently but firmly commit to a different relationship with our bodies.
