Consume my Snack Mindfully

Mindful snacking and being more Treat Wise is about being conscious of what it is you want to eat, why you are eating and how it makes you feel. It's about snacking with intention and attention.

MINDFUL SNACKING CAN BE PRACTICED BY ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME! JUST ASK YOURSELF THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS:

WHY DO I WANT A SNACK?

Are you hungry? Need a quick pick-me-up? Or simply looking to treat yourself at the end of a hard day?
