How often do you actually stop, take a moment to enjoy & experience something that would otherwise be an auto-pilot part of your day. To make something pretty to eat, even if it's just for you and no one else, irregardless of how small it is?
I was thinking about this the other day. If I want a snack, I often grab it out of the fridge or pantry and eat it while I'm doing something else. I take no time to make it more visually appealing or even really mentally register every bite. More times than not, I have finished my snacks (or meals!) and barely remember eating it at all.
My yogurt received some attention today and I swear, it tasted so much better.
Why don't take an extra 10 minutes to do something nice for yourself today. No matter how small.
I hope you weren't like the actresses (never men, you notice that?) in the yogurt commercials that eat and savor it like it's an orgasmic experience... I yell at the TV when I see those ("It's yogurt, for frick's sake!!!") ;)
ReplyDeleteEspecially because they just eat it out of the container instead of a pretty bowl ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. No kidding. You hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteI just felt like having a pretty snack. I'm usually the one scarfing yogurt down from the container - though I never have the orgasmic expressions :) hehe.
