* When it's time for your next meal, sit down at your table with your plate of food.
{{:Learn About Mindfulness}}
* Before you begin eating, take a moment to appreciate the sight and smell of your food.
* As you pick up your fork or spoon, bring all your attention to the act of eating.
* Pay attention to every sensation of each bite - the ''flavors'', the ''texture'', the ''temperature'', the ''muscles'' used in chewing and swallowing.
* With your attention fully on the experience of eating, notice that all of these sensations make up "The Now" - this is what is happening!
* When your mind wanders, notice where it goes, then gently guide it back to your eating.
* Even if your mind wanders a hundred times, bring it back a hundred times.
* Clean up after your meal, maintaining your focus on the present moment.
