Take It Slow



Why is it that Americans always seem to be in such a race? A race to pass the car in front of you. A race to speed through the TV channels with your remote. A race to beat the person in the checkout line next to you.

We do everything at high speed ... including eating. Unfortunately, if you don't take your time eating, your stomach never has the chance to tell your brain you're full.

So, lately, I've been telling myself to slow down. To savor what I eat. To move from just "filling up" to sustaining myself physically, emotionally, mentally.

Next time you sit down to eat, take your time.

Savor the moment and the meal.
