Mindful Eating Challenge Day 7: Identify positive feelings

 Identify positive feelings around food

Being aware of the emotions that surface during meals can give you a better understanding of how food affects your mood and why you tend to gravitate toward specific foods when you’re feeling a particular way.

For today’s challenge: Focus on your positive feelings (or lack thereof) when enjoying a meal. In theory, food should make you feel good, as eating is a pleasurable experience. (For some of us, food may not bring about positive feelings for a number of reasons, and that’s OK.)

When eating a meal, ask yourself the following questions. As before, jot down your answers:

1. Is this meal evoking any positive feelings? If so, what are they?
2. What is making you feel good? Is it the food itself, atmosphere, or people with whom you’re enjoying your meal?

This challenge is simply meant to bring more awareness to the feelings that you experience when eating (without judgment), so eating may become a more joyful experience for you.
