The moments that make up a day easily run by in a blur. Each moment has any number of experiences to react to or observe. We have a myriad of choices within a day except for the things that keep us physically alive; like breathing and eating. The awareness of breath and it’s own life within our lives is a beautiful and peaceful way to bring reality back into the blur. Eating, preparing and cooking is another way to draw connection to nature, gratitude for nourishment and choice toward health.
No matter what kind of day you live, eating almost sneaks it’s way in and so here are some thoughts for the time taken to fuel our bodies:
- Buy 1 ingredient foods and chop. Slice. De-seed. Peel.
- Let your breath find the rhythm of your preparation.
- Let this be enough for 5 minutes.
Taking time, thought and pride in what you are preparing, cooking and eating is a way to have present minded time within any type of day. Gratitude begins to live and thrive within these minutes and the nourishment that your body and mind absorb will be 10 fold.

Food Prep is a definite grounding activity for me – aligning in the present moment 😊 Wish you were closer so we could do this together…. oh, those salt and pepper biscuits!! we made a few years ago during the CO Springs trip 💙💙 (by no means 1 ingredient – I am with you on your point there too)
