How to eat mindfully this Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a time of turkey, mashed potatoes, casseroles, pies, oh, and friends, family and giving thanks."Thanksgiving is a holiday with so much emotion around food attached," said Dr. Alexis Conason, a clinical psychologist and the founder of The Anti-Diet Plan."It's like there is this expectation to overeat on this day."
"If we're stuck in conflict, feeling like, 'Oh my gosh, I shouldn't eat any pie. I'm on a diet but the pie looks so good. I shouldn't have it, but maybe I'll have a small piece,' that's a tremendous amount of energy that's going into the pie," she said."That's energy that is not going into catching up with friends and family or taking in the sights or anything else going on.
Mindful eating can be done anywhere and with any meal. You are eating mindfully if you are focusing fully on the food you are eating and are aware and accepting of your thoughts, according to Albers. Conason shared these five steps to try on Thanksgiving Day so you can savor every bite and not overindulge.
