Presented by Sharon M. Theroux, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, neuropsychologist, and certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Instructor
Establishing a mindful eating practice, and moving away from the diet mentality is life affirming. However, cultivating such a practice in our fast-paced society can be a challenge, requiring a shift from using external guidance about what, when, and how much to eat (e.g. diets, provided portion sizes, dress size, the bathroom scale) to internal guidance (e.g. using your taste buds, your hunger/satiety cues). A daily formal practice is essential.
Participants will:
- Discuss the attitudes essential in the cultivation of a mindful eating practice
- Discuss 3 formal mindful meditation practices that support your mindful eating practice
- List 3 tips to establish a consistent mindful eating practice
