What is it about this season that’s so special? For most of us, summer is a time to ease up on routines, travel more, and enjoy longer days. It just feels happier! Bring that feeling to your own life by savoring all that summer has to offer.

How does it help? Taking part in pleasurable, engaging, and meaningful activities can boost life satisfaction, according to research.* And when you do them with attention—and intention—even a 20-minute

daily walk can leave you feeling happy and appreciative all week.** In fact, scientists think it’s possible that regular meditation and mindfulness practices may literally change your brain, enhancing emotional and self-regulation, memory and learning, and body awareness.*** All of those good things can help you stay motivated and on track with your weight-loss and healthy-living progress.

SIGHT Gaze at the fruit. What does the skin look like? Is it shiny? Is it one solid color or are there variations? What is the shape? Do you notice any dents or markings?

TOUCH As you roll the fruit in your hand, what does it feel like? Does it give under your fingers? Is the skin bumpy or smooth? Do you feel any drops of moisture?

SMELL Bring it to your nose and inhale the fragrance. Is there a sweet perfume? A hint of mustiness? Earthiness?

HEARING Gently bite into the fruit. What does that sound like? Is there a soft slurp or a crunch?

TASTE Chew slowly, letting the fruit linger on your tongue. Are there tangy notes? Sweet? Bitter?

Think of how different this experience is from eating while driving to work or watching TV. Bring this sense of presence to other day-to-day activities—and you might find yourself calmer and even happier.*

CHallEngE: “I don’t know what to do.”

tHink again if you’re not sold on the benefits of mindfulness, see if these tips can help. change your thinking and you can change how you feel, and thus, what you do!

*From the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center.

do our SuMMEr try-a-tHon! try something new each week—and if you come to your meeting for 11 out of the 13 weeks of summer, you’ll get an award! see your Meeting room team for info.

CHallEngE: “I don’t have the time to sit and meditate.”

to do tHiS WEEk • Do the “savor your summer” exercise on page 3. Jot down your thoughts.

• what i want to accomplish this week:

learn more about mindfulness in “Weekly Extra” in this week’s e-newsletter (for subscribers) or go to weightwatchers.com/weeklyextra

CHallEngE: “When I try it, my mind wanders.”

Solution: Being mindful is simply being fully present in the moment, such as being aware of your body, the pressure of the chair beneath you, your breathing, your heart beat…. Visit bit.ly/5MinuteMeditation for an easy way to do it.*

Solution: Even a minute or two of sitting quietly, eyes closed, and focusing on your breath and body can work wonders. And you can practice being mindful when doing a task like folding laundry or weeding, or even while eating.

Solution: It’s normal for thoughts to intrude. Acknowledge them and gently bring your mind back to the present. The more often you do it, the easier it gets!

this is not your typical deli-style pasta salad. this much brighter tasting and colorful version is loaded with crunch (but not smartPoints!).

5 SmartPoints® value Per Serving // PreP 12 min // Cook 10 min // ServeS 6

FAST & EASY

From weightwatchers.com

6 oz mini farfalle or bowtie pasta (about 2 cups)

⅓ cup light mayonnaise

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

½ tsp table salt ¼ tsp freshly ground

black pepper 3 medium plum

tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 small carrot, diced ⅓ cup chopped

fresh basil 3 tbsp chopped

red onion

in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook pasta as package directs. Drain and rinse under cold running water; drain well. in a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper. add pasta, tomatoes, carrot, basil, and onion to bowl; toss to mix and coat. yields about ¾ cup per serving.

MakE aHEad this recipe tastes best freshly made, but if you would like to prepare it ahead, just keep the dressing separate and toss shortly before serving. it’s important to use nice, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Diced beefsteak or halved grape tomatoes can be substituted for plum tomatoes if they aren’t beautifully ripe.
