Abundance is Gift #8 of the 12 Gifts of Mindful Eating.<\/a> For 12 days, we are sharing a mini-mindful eating exercise to help you focus on the gift of each day. Each one is intentionally short, simple, and powerful.<\/p>\n

The Gift of Abundance<\/h2>\n

Abundance means you have more than enough. When you live in a land of abundance with food, it’s easy to forget the sad fact that many people around the world, even around the corner, may not have enough food to eat.<\/p>\n

Today, pause to reflect on how lucky you are to have enough food. This Food Gratitude Meditation<\/a>\u00a0will help.<\/p>\n

And if you are able and inspired to do so, consider how you can share your abundance with others! Perhaps you could invite someone for a meal, donate food or time to a food bank, or contribute to a hunger relief organization.<\/p>\n

(If you struggle with scarcity beliefs due to messages from past dieting or parents like there are starving children in… <\/em>that drives you to over-consume even when food is plentiful, read more about “the abundance paradox<\/a>.”)<\/p>\n
