EAT WELL<br />

If you’re like me, you spend much of your day bolting from one thing to<br />
the next, sprinting through tasks, pushing through unanswered emails<br />
and phone calls, while simultaneously attending meetings, believing that<br />
the more you conquer the more you achieve.<br />
Chances are, while you buzzed your way through<br />
your day, you either forgot to eat, or grabbed<br />
anything you could find and mindlessly chowed<br />
down. And, with the holidays here, there’s a good<br />
chance you grabbed the latest holiday cookie or donut<br />
left in the office kitchen, or dipped your hand into the<br />
Halloween candy jar that miraculously continues to<br />
be refilled far past the October 31st date.<br />
Between the hustle and bustle of the daily grind,<br />
combined with the increase in celebration, we often<br />
see an over indulgence in food followed by a New<br />
Year’s resolution to eat better and lose weight.<br />
But this holiday season, consider practicing<br />
mindfulness. If you’re thinking “Mindfulness? I don’t<br />
have time for that!” I get it. The good news is I’m<br />
here to give you realistic and practical tips because<br />
I understand that not all of us have the time (or<br />
want to spend the time) reaching our Zen in a quiet<br />
dark space for 30+ minutes each day. Mindfulness<br />
is all about just being present in the moment. Being<br />
more aware of our surroundings, even if those<br />
surroundings are noisy and chaotic! When we are<br />
mindful we can channel that into all of the decisions<br />
we make during the day, such as our food choices.<br />
