MOST PEOPLE DON’T THINK OF LUNCH TIME AS AN

OPPORTUNITY FOR MEDITATION OR MINDFULNESS, BUT IT

IS! IN FACT, EVERY MEAL CAN BE A PRACTICE IN MEDITATION

IF YOU WANT IT TO BE.

NEXT TIME YOU SIT DOWN FOR A MEAL OR SNACK, TAKE

YOUR TIME TO SAVOR EVERY BITE OF YOUR MEAL.

5. BEING IN NATURE

THERE HAVE BEEN A TON OF STUDIES AS OF LATE ABOUT

THE BENEFITS BEING IN NATURE HAS ON OUR MINDS AND

MENTAL HEALTH.

INSTEAD OF HAVING LUNCH AT YOUR DESK (AGAIN), SPEND

YOUR LUNCH OUTDOORS IN A NEARBY PARK. ON THE

WEEKEND, TAKE A STROLL ALONG THE BEACH OR THROUGH

THE HILLS.
