A Delicious Way to Practice Mindfulness

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 123

Did you know that mindfulness practice can shrink the amygdala which is the part of the brain that is responsible for fight, flight or freeze? While I know the benefits of mindfulness, I sometimes struggle to actually practice it. But several years ago, I was able to finally start on my mindfulness journey - by using food!

This can be done with any type of food but I particularly love using berries or chocolate. Take a listen to learn how to use this technique…

The topics I cover in this episode are:

  • How mindfulness with food can help

  • I run through an exercise with you from ‘The Coping Skills for Kids Workbook’ on mindful eating

  • How I used this strategy during lockdown to help my clients
