Benefits of slower eating

7 Cups Online Therapy / by amiablePeace77

...See more When I was working it became normal for me to eat my meals within the shortest time. Usually it took me only a few minutes and it became a habit to have conversations about work whilst eating. I guess you can imagine that my digestion was not very good and that I hardly enjoyed the food even if it was consumed in a nice restaurant. My focus was sadly on my work. In the evening, at home, I did the same thing as at work - I ate very fast. Our health can be significantly impacted by the speed at which we consume. Eating too quickly can result in a number of health problems. Here are some examples: * Our bodies might not register fullness, resulting in overeating * Poor digestion * Increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke* * Decreased enjoyment of food At one point I felt so bad about my eating that I looked for ways to eat more slowly and something that helped me was to eat with chopsticks and later on I learned about mindful eating. Participation questions: * Do you eat your meals quickly or do you take your time and appreciate the flavours in each bite? * What helps you to eat slower?

If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and feeling depressed, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if they are related to any mental challenges.

...See more Your Silence, My Voice In your silence lie countless screams, I hear those unspoken pleas of yours. You ask me to stay away, to forget you entirely, But how can I erase the dreams we shared together? You say that fear grips your heart, I say we'll fight this battle as one. Why fight alone for your freedom? Didn't I promise to walk beside you till the end? Is love such a grave sin? Is choosing our own path such a crime? Your God gave you this life to live, Why surrender it to others' design? You ask for time, and I give you Not moments, but a lifetime true. Just don't ask me to forget you, For you're like a verse in my book of life, That feels new every time I read through. People tell me to be practical, To accept that if not you, someone else will do. But how do I make them understand That you're not a choice I made, You're a part of my existence so deep, A story left incomplete I cannot keep. I hold no grudge against your family, I only have this humble plea: Give you time, listen to your voice, Find their joy in your happiness freely. You say my hopes are breaking you down, But how can I leave you alone in this fight? My silence holds my restlessness, Your silence holds your helplessness. The tears that fill your eyes today, Flow from mine just the same way. You ask me to forget and move on, But how can I forget dreams that we dwelt upon? This world holds endless possibilities, Why chain ourselves to age-old traditions? Your Allah and the world I see, Both speak of truths that set us free. I wonder at this painful irony: The women who once lived in chains, Now become the keepers of the same, Passing down their silent pain. What did our elders learn from their youth, When their voices too were stifled and mute? Are they now taking revenge, perhaps, By passing trauma down this twisted route? I think of your daughters tomorrow, Will they find their voice to speak? Or will they inherit this same silence, When they try to choose their path unique? Will their rational pleas be heard Or will they too be told to stay meek? You'll fight your battle alone, you say, I'll stay away as you asked, okay. But remember, I'm here somewhere near, Ready for your call, should you ever need. I only ask this much of you: Don't let your voice fade away. For hidden in your silence deep, Lies the story of my heartache's keep.

I could use this kind of support sometimes
