I had the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite “National Speaker Association (NSA)” people, Dr. Michelle May, MD, give her speech about mindful eating this past week. She was our NSA Arizona chapter president last year and is very busy with taking her business across the U.S. and to eight other countries around the world. Over this past year, she took the time to share her insights and experience with me when I had questions about business licensing. Recently when I was scrambling with the NSA programs committee responsibilities for the chapter she even offered, “I’ll do whatever you need me to do to help, even the little things.” And then she did it, she jumped in and helped with distributing the meeting hand-outs in our last meeting (some may view as a task below them).
Michelle’s business is all about mindful eating; it is called “Am I Hungry?” (linked). But before you stop reading (if you have no problem with yo-yo dieting), she also emphasizes mindfulness in all we do and for me this is especially powerful because she does business this way.
What Does Mindfulness Look Like For Business?
And Mindfulness For Your Life?
No doubt, we are all extremely busy. But, rushing through each moment leads to arrival at your destination with a feeling of dissatisfaction and emptiness. Use your internalGPS to look for opportunities to be a little more mindful and experience how much more you enjoy the journey and your destinations.
If you have been a yo-yo dieter (like me) then I highly recommend Dr. Michelle May’s book, “Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat, How to Break Your Eat-Repent-Repeat Cycle.” (click on link to order). It is full of simple and yet powerful ideas and it may change your life (and is not a diet).
How do you savor mindful moments? Please share in a comment.
