So
in
this
discussion
we
will
share
a
few
practical
tips
on
training
yourself
to
be
mindful
using
opportunities.
We
have
throughout
the
day
in
your
day-to-day
life,
such
as
food
and
eating,
and
how
to
eat
mindfully
and
just
like
last
time,
we
prepared
a
list
of
questions
which
pep
will
ask
and
help
guide
us
through
the
conversation.
B
A
Yeah,
so
mindfulness
is
the
practice
of
purposefully
bringing
one's
attention
to
the
present
moment.
Experience.
So
it's
really
about
being
in
the
present
moment
and
experiencing
that
not
living
in
the
past
or
thinking
about
the
future,
as
many
of
us
often
go
through
our
lives.
Doing
it's
also
about
having
curiosity
about
oneself
and
our
own
experience
so
really
noticing
our
feelings,
our
thoughts,
our
bodily
Sensations,
and
not
just
noticing
them,
but
noticing
them
without
judgment,
and
if
there's
anything
that
feels
off
just
noticing
that
and
practicing
kindness
towards
ourselves.
C
And
mindfulness
also
can
relate
to
our
eating,
and
it's
referred
to
as
mindful
eating
and
mindful
eating.
It
includes
simple
strategies
that
we
can
all
use
to
develop.
Healthier
eating
habits
as
well
as
a
healthy
relationship
with
food
and
mindful
eating
is
not
a
diet,
but
instead
it's
about
listening
to
our
bodies.
A
C
With
a
little
practice,
we
can
definitely
train
ourselves
to
be
more
mindful
when
it
comes
to
eating.
Let's
talk
about
five,
simple
tips
that
we
can
all
practice
at
home
tip
one
is
to
sit
down.
Many
of
us
today
were
eating
on
the
go,
we're
eating
in
places,
for
instance,
in
front
of
the
TV
on
our
Sofas
in
our
cars
even
or
our
bed,
and
what
we
know
is
when
we
eat
on
the
go
or
some
of
these
other
places.
C
We
all
know
that
we
are
living
in
a
fast-paced
world
today
and
we're
all
always
on
the
go
and
when
we
eat
quickly
again,
we
are
also
likely
to
overeat
try
putting
your
fork
down
with
each
bite
and
chew
your
food
thoroughly.
Also
taking
a
sip
of
water
can
help
and
trying
to
just
take
big,
deep
breaths
between
each
bite
of
food,
and
this
will
help
us
to
promote
improved
digestion
as
well
as
absorption
of
our
meals,
and
you
should
also
feel
Fuller
faster
when
you
eat
slower.
C
Many
people
don't
realize
that
it
takes
our
brains,
an
average
of
20
minutes
to
to
get
the
signals
that
we
are
actually
satisfied.
So
slowing
down
will
help
you
to
eat
less
and
feel
Fuller
faster,
tip.
Three
is
to
savor
and
think
about
our
senses.
Savor
means
to
enjoy
your
food
and
think
about
your
senses,
including
smell,
taste,
texture,
sound
and
temperature.
When
you
eat
ask
yourself,
how
does
this
taste?
C
How
does
the
texture
feel
in
my
mouth
ask
yourself:
how
does
it
smell
and
savoring
your
food
will
help
you
to
enjoy
it
more
by
being
more
mindful
as
well
tip.
Four
is,
simplify
and
think
about
creating
a
calm
environment
when
you're
eating
with
as
minimal
distraction
as
possible.
Try
turning
off
your
phone.
C
Turning
off
the
TV
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
times
I
see
people
eating
and
they're
staring
at
their
phones
and
they're
not
focused
on
their
food
as
a
result
also
trying
to
have
a
quiet
environment
when
you're
eating
would
allow
yourself
to
relax
and
fully
focus
on
your
meal,
and
the
final
tip
is
feeling
and
when
it
comes
to
mind,
feel
eating.
We
want
to
think
about
how
we
feel
when
we're
eating.
Are
you
anxious?
Are
you
stressed,
are
you
bored?
Are
you
happy
or
sad?
Are
you
even
feeling
hungry
many
times?
C
We
know
we
eat
for
all
different
reasons,
and
we
have
learned
in
previous
shows
that
our
emotions
are
closely
related
to
not
only
what
we
eat,
but
how
we
feel
also
affects
our
food
choices,
so
try
to
think
about
food
as
a
way
to
fuel
your
body
and
also
try
to
feel
grateful
or
thankful
for
each
meal
that
you
have
thinking
about
the
different
foods
and
how
they
are
nourishing.
Your
body.
B
A
A
Hearing
smelling,
seeing
touching
and
another
example,
is
for
washing
your
hands.
A
lot
of
us
are
washing
our
hands
more
these
days
and
it's
a
really
good
opportunity
to
stop
and
not
just
think,
okay,
what
am
I
going
to
do
next,
but
think?
How
does
this
feel?
How
does
the
soap
feel
do
my
hands
feel
soft?
Where
do
they
feel
rough?
How
are
my
hands
slippery,
and
this
is
an
unmindful
moment
you
can
give
yourself
and
help
prepare
yourself
for
taking
on
the
challenges
of
the
day.
C
And
in
regards
to
eating
very
similar
to
what
Dr
Morris
said,
we
can
use
any
time
we
eat
a
meal
or
a
snack
or
even
take
a
drink
as
an
opportunity
to
practice
mindfulness.
We
learned
these
five
simple
tips
today
and
when
you
are
ready
to
eat
a
meal
or
have
you
know
something
that
you're
putting
in
your
mouth,
try
to
stop
and
pause
and
ask
yourself
how
am
I
feeling
at
this
moment
am
I
hungry
or
am
I
wanting
to
eat,
maybe
because
of
some
of
those
other
emotions
that
we
mentioned
earlier.
B
A
Yes,
well,
I
think
really.
There
are
so
many
different
opportunities
and
I'd
like
to
take
this
moment
to
to
practice.
So
in
addition
to
stopping
and
noticing
what
you're
doing,
we
can
also
take
a
few
minutes
every
day
to
stop
and
and
meditate
and
really
be
in
the
moment
and
be
in
our
bodies,
and
I
would
like
to
practice
that
with
you
all
now.
A
A
A
A
A
Thank
you
so
much
yes,
foreign
So
yeah.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
joining
us,
thank
you
for
to
both
of
you
for
being
here
today.
I
hope
that
you
all
found
today's
discussion
on
mindfulness
helpful
to
your
life,
and
we
know
that
mindfulness
Can
Be
an
Effective
and
Powerful
tool
for
us
to
stay
healthier
and
feel
happier.
