Here’s the key: you don’t have to chase the blessing, strive, manipulate, try to force doors to open, make people like you. If you’ll chase God, the blessings will chase you. If you’ll keep Him first place, you won’t be able to outrun what He has in store. They’ll catch you by surprise. One reason it’s a surprise is because what God has planned is so much bigger, so much more rewarding than what you have in mind.

What is mindful eating?
To get to know how your body really reacts to food, you first need to listen mindfully. This includes being aware of what’s happening inside your body, inside your mind, and in the world all around you as you eat. It might involve paying attention to the entire timeline of eating: where your food comes from, how it is prepared, and how it is digested. And it might involve paying attention to the dynamic process of eating—for example, what changes occur in your body when you eat a particular food, a particular amount of food, or a food prepared in a particular way.

When you fully listen to your body’s reactions to food, you pay attention not only to your five senses—taste, smell, touch, sight, sound—but also to subtler bodily sensations, emotions, and food triggers. By honing this type of awareness, you can discover how different foods impact your body, mind, and day-to-day experiences.

You might discover that a certain food always makes you groggy and that another food energizes you. Or you might realize that you only eat a particular food when you’re anxious or only overeat when you’re sad. The goal is simply to listen, learn, and then take actions that better support the body’s needs.

If you are able to fully embrace mindful eating—becoming aware and accepting of your relationship with food—it can become a superpower. Try these seven strategies to learn how to listen to your body.

Mindfully explore your food issues
Shira Lenchewski, a registered dietitian and author of the new book The Food Therapist, suggests that there are five dysfunctional habits that many of us have around food. We may have just one of them or we may have them all. These food habits are:

Having trust issues (you just can’t stop yourself from eating)
Being a “pleaser” (you cave in to other people’s food choices)
Fearing the mundane (you think eating healthy would be way too boring)
Craving control (you beat yourself up for tiny diet “mistakes”)
Having a hot-and-cold pattern (you yo-yo diet and quickly go from “all in” to “all out”)
By becoming aware of your food habits, you can better explore the reasons behind them and put in place strategies to change them. For example, if you’re like me and you crave control, you might work on practicing self-compassion or acceptance so that you’re not so hard on yourself when your diet is imperfect. If you’re a pleaser, you could practice assertiveness, perhaps by requesting to meet a friend at a healthier restaurant. Or if you fear the mundane, you could get a new cookbook and learn some fun, creative ways to cook healthy meals.

Remove addictive foods
Paying attention to anything is harder when you’re distracted. Your smartphone makes it harder to pay attention to others; your workplace stress makes it harder to pay attention to your family; and it turns out that craving addictive foods distracts your attention, too.

What you miss out on are important signals from your body. Food addictions—especially to sugar, caffeine, and alcohol but sometimes also to dairy, carbs, and chocolate—can scream louder than true hunger, nutrient deficiencies, and food intolerances. When you try to listen to your body, you may simply hear, “Candy, candy, candy, candy!”

Once you remove addictive foods, you might start to crave things you never expected. For example, when I cut out all addictive foods, I noticed an intense craving for cantaloupe, spinach, and avocado (foods all high in potassium). Being able to identify which foods my body really needed and then eating them created a truly amazing experience—the cantaloupe even gave me goosebumps!
