Be like a Goldfinch

I was watching the birds on my bird feeder today.  The birds dash and grab what they need, they squabble, they are distracted.  Not the Goldfinches, they choose where they want to eat then they settle and are still.  They eat slowly and seem to savour each mouthful.  They only leave when it is their choice to do so, not because they are bullied or feel they have taken too much time or the queue is getting restless.

Eat mindfully during these winter months and be careful with the amount of sugar laden foods you eat as these can affect your mood and immune system.  Warm up your food and use sauteed greens instead of salad greens and a warm drink rather than a smoothie.
