AWARENESS and your FOOD JOURNAL

Have we all someplace where we jot down the foods we eat and the liquids we consume with more or less an idea of the time? Hope the answer is yes!

Let’s add another angle to this interesting story. Awareness.

You can only consciously change what you are AWARE of.

Start noticing not only what you are eating and when but also why, when do you feel like eating, what you feel like eating in certain situations, how do you eat, how much do you eat in times of stress, what are your triggers and when and where do you spend your energies.

Thus you use the Food Journal also for organizing your observations and thoughts. Our state of mind is more relevant to our food-habits than we realize. Even if you don’t make an immediate connection, penning it in helps you remember what happened so you can reflect back on it and see your patterns, connections and triggers. It is an important way to reinforce and practice key mindful eating concepts and to record progress, no matter how slow it is, all through your journey.

Looking through it over a period of time helps us notice and record effective progress. That makes us FEEL GOOD! And feeling good leads to wanting to continue…

Putting it down makes us SEE it, start thinking about it and become more AWARE of it.

THEN we can bring about positive long-lasting CHANGE!
