Let’s play a game called “How Many Times Did I Ignore My Body This Week?”
Skipped lunch because you were in the zone?
Snacked on stale Goldfish from your kid’s car seat instead of an actual meal?
Felt bloated and blah but shrugged it off because... Mondays?
Yeah. We’ve all been there. Living on autopilot. Racing from task to task. Forgetting that your body is literally trying to communicate with you 24/7.
Here’s the truth: your body is talking. Loudly. But we’re usually too busy, too distracted, or too disconnected to listen.
I used to be the same way. I didn’t know what I needed—just that I was tired, puffy, and running on ~*just one more*~ square of dark chocolate that would surely heal me.
But everything changed when I slowed down and started paying attention.
Not to calories. Not to macros.
To me.
And that’s what mindfulness is, really. It’s not a wellness buzzword. It’s just… noticing. Asking better questions. Getting curious.
Here are 3 ways mindfulness around food can change your whole vibe:
1. Energy Check, Not Just Espresso
That 3PM slump? It might not need another iced latte. It might need a walk around the block, a glass of water, or something green that didn’t come from a drive-thru. Groundbreaking!
2. Bloat Isn’t Just a You Thing
If you’re constantly bloated after lunch, that’s not your “normal” - that’s your body saying, “Something’s not working here.” You’re not crazy. You’re just inflamed. Big difference.
3. Food is Fuel (and Fun)
Feeling good isn’t about restriction. It’s about recognition. Food isn’t the enemy - it’s how we live. Eat what makes you feel alive, not what makes you feel ashamed.
So when you sit down for a meal today (No, really. Sit down for your meals.), try this:
Pause.
Check in.
Ask: Am I actually hungry? How do I feel after I eat? Did that energize me or drain me?
You might be shocked at what you notice.
And your body? She’ll thank you for finally listening.
Here’s to slower bites and stronger signals.
