    Simplicity Eat Mindfully
    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

    When I practice mindful eating I slow down (which is hard for me as I developed a bad habit of eating too fast.) When I am able to slow down I can appreciate the food so much more and also appreciate the company, the atmosphere and really just enjoy the dining experience rather than just eating in a rush as I am prone to do.

    Creativity is everything when you are trying to live a simpler life. For example, learning diy ways to make and use products that you would normally purchase, finding ways to use things found in nature for everything from decor to plant based medicine. All it takes is  a bit of creativity.

    This is really a challenge for me since I live in a very rural area. I'm working on this ... suggestions welcomed.

    I love to read and do art / craft projects, so I found it fairly easy to substitute those for screen time.
