Five Tips on Listening to Your Body
- Practice being 'present' especially at meal times - what i mean by this is being mindful and doing nothing else at the time but noticing your thoughts and feelings.
- Make use of your under used senses, especially taste - when did you last notice the textures of your food and the different flavours. Does food have a sound?
- Learn to recognise when your body is hungry and distinguish between hunger and thirst. To do this - when you think you're hungry have a glass of water first.
- Slow down whilst eating so that you can recognise when your body is full - and pause and think before taking another helping and ask yourself why you want it?
- Keep a journal to record your findings and explore what you heard when you listened to your body and what action you will take from that.
