Mindful eating

Been practising mindful eating when I lunch in the office the last week or so. Hope to keep it up.
Nothing much.

I'm just setting aside 15mins or so to eat my lunch. Although I'm at my desk, my PC is off. And during this 10-15mins (or however long it takes to eat my lunch), I won't touch my PC and my phone.

I won't do anything else except eat or drink. And with each mouthful of food, I try to focus on the textures, taste, temperature or colour of the food. And I try to chew purposefully and chew more too since it's supposed to help me digest my food better.

Today's lunch was butter mushroom rice with pumpkin, cabbage and minced meat. The bright happy orange colour of the pumpkin contrasted with the green cabbage quite nicely. It made for a happy colourful meal instead of the usual drab brown looking lunches that my helper makes haha.
