In this world in turmoil when your thoughts may wander, a truly enjoyable and delicious meal seems a great idea. You do not need a good cook or spend a fortune in an expensive restaurant. Just whet up your appetite before you eat ! Think of the cast of Survivors, starved of the regular food which we take for granted. An ordinary burger and a little can of cola tasted heavenly.
It’s easy as you can either moderate the food you consume at your last meal or wait a little longer before you take your next one. Then choose to eat something you relish (no matter how hungry you are, you will not enjoy something you absolutely dislike).
Have your friends and families around if you can, but it does not matter even if you are alone. However, do not bring your worries to the dining table. Just switch off and focus on the meal. Offer a little prayer. Think how lucky you are to sit down peacefully to enjoy a decent meal. Appreciate nature’s wondrous growth that have given you the rice, vegetables, or meat served, and not forgetting the cook and other people for their hard work too.
Do not rush. Eat slowly even though you can eat faster. This is no race and there are no scavenger around to snatch away your catch. Savour the scent around and chew your food slowly. Taste what you consume. It will be good. You are also eating the way it ought to be done too. Finally do not over eat otherwise you end up uncomfortably.
There is nothing said here that is new and which you may not know. But modern life has stressed us out and we do not make the most of our meal times. Time to stop and smell your roses, and also enjoy your food too. If all these sound too philosophical, just remember that merely slowing down your eating pace can do you wonders. Bon appetite !GOT IT!
