Sadhguru's 10-second rule before eating emphasizes mindfulness and awareness, which can significantly enhance your eating experience and overall well-being. Here's what he says
Pause Before Eating: Take a moment to pause and prepare yourself mentally before you start eating. This helps you transition from your activities to a more focused state.
Use this time to appreciate the food in front of you. Recognize the effort that went into its preparation, from the farmers to the cooks.
Sadhguru also talked about the importance of taking only what is necessary on the plate.
The spiritual leader said when it comes to food, he will only add to his plate what he can eat, no more, because wasting something that comes from nature is disrespectful and careless.
Sadhguru also emphasized that it is not just cooked food on the plate that should be respected and saved, but also the resources that sustain life, the soil, water, and air, should be saved and protected.
Cultivating a sense of gratitude for your food can enhance your eating experience.
During these 10 seconds, try to eliminate distractions like phones or TV. This allows you to focus solely on your meal and enhances mindfulness.
