Do you multitask while you eat? Like read the paper or scroll through your phone? Or do you focus on your breakfast?

Thank you so much for your question. I do both! There are times where I’ve done my full morning routine – being grateful, journaling, meditation and taken my daily supplements/vitamins. Yet I have time to sit and enjoy my breakfast so I’ll do that while reading OR I may just sit and enjoy my breakfast in awareness /mindfulness. Thank you for letting me share.

I’m always doing something, but I appreciate this question as mindfulness is important to me and I need and want to bring it to my eating habits.

Unfortunately i can’t concentrate because we have our breakfast together with our 2 small kids. And i do 100 things at once.

I definitely multitask – I can’t sit still or I get bored and eat too fast meaning I eat too much and overeat. If I distract myself then it works out.

That is such a good question! In the past I often ate breakfast whilst doing something else, usually at my desk at work. Since i started using this app more and really trying to complete tasks properly I have been trying to sit down and eat my breakfast at the table and only do that (i.e. concentrate on preparing and eating the meal). It is working well so far! I hope this helps. Good luck!

Yes I do! When I eat, I tend to look for a netflix show to watch – Preferably a food show that would boost my appetite for breakfast.

Im supposed to be eating mindfully because i dont eat enough. I usually play music while im eating, usually meditation music.

I used to like to do the activities and read the backs of cereal boxes (and I still do), but now I am usually on Fabulous trying to type in what I am having for breakfast and hitting the check button for things like breakfast, drinking water, etc. So I am usually multitasking and I find that I wake up faster, am energized, calm, and I just feel a lot better when I multitask vs when I don’t. So if you don’t multitask during breakfast , I recommend you do it is fun and I’m happier, but if it stresses you out, then STOP doing it!

I often take my breakfast and get out of the house I eat my sandwich while driving , for the days I eat breakfast at home I often focus on the breakfast

I multitask when I eat. I usually eat breakfast alone because I’m awake earlier than my siblings. So I multitask because I can. When it comes to lunch and dinner, I focus on the food!
