Some words of wisdom from the late Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh taken from his book How To Eat:
Eating our feelings
“We human beings have many feelings, both positive and negative. Some people tend to eat more when they’re joyful, while others tend to eat less. Some people eat when they are sad or upset as a way of eating their feelings, hoping the feelings will go away. Food becomes a craving to them, rather than a source of nourishment. If we do not attempt to look deeply to understand our craving, it will grow. When we take the time to take care of our emotions with mindfulness and compassion, then we can just eat. We can enjoy our food without craving and develop a healthy and positive relationship to eating.”
So with those wonderful words of Thich That Hanh, on this episode we delve into the topic of mindful eating and mood foods.
