MindFULL Eating Flashcards
Action Steps
- Practice mindful eating during at least one meal daily. Use the MindFULL Eating Flashcards as your guide.
- If you have treats during the week (like a cookie, chips, or ice cream), plate them to enhance the experience. For example, scoop ice cream into a bowl instead of eating straight from the tub, and savor it mindfully.
- Make it a habit to sit down during meals. Yes, momma—we’re looking at you! Take a moment for yourself instead of eating while standing or juggling the kids. Sitting helps you slow down, enjoy your food, support better digestion, and avoid mindless overeating.
- Take note of your satisfaction after meals.
- Pro Tip: Jot down your insights in your HLL or in a journal.
- Notes sections can be found on page 26 or 116 in your HLL.
- Alternatively, use the “THOUGHTS & IDEAS” section under this week’s gratitude reflections in your HLL.
- Embrace grace over perfection. Remember, in the FULLforLife lifestyle, every experience is an opportunity to grow—free from judgment or guilt. Take small, intentional steps toward mindful eating and celebrate your progress!
