Mindful eating

I've been practising mindful eating whenever I can over the last 2-3 months. Usually it's lunchtime in office if I'm not eating with someone else. 

It started out awkward and boring. I started out with a short duration of 5mins only just to try the concept out. Then it increased naturally to 10mins and then to 15mins or so. 

Over time, it's been quite enjoyable actually. 

You clear your mind of all things and just focus on eating. You focus on the chewing, the sounds (if any), the textures of the food, the taste, the colours, etc. 

And when you're done eating, you just go back to whatever it is you want to do next...
