By truly enjoying your first meal of the day, you are setting the tone for the remainder of your day. Consider this: if you hustle first thing in the morning, you'll feel rushed the rest of the day. Begin your day with the aim and purpose of going slowly. Take time to enjoy breakfast and you'll have more energy throughout the day. Have a slow walk after dinner, too. Research shows that people who eat fast food tend to eat faster-eating speeds increase their risk of obesity and diabetes. So the next time you're in the drive-through, make sure you eat at a reasonable speed! If you want to start slowly, don't worry about what else is for breakfast. Just pour yourself a cup of coffee or hot tea and relax with the newspaper or magazine while you drink it. Soon, you'll be ready to face the world.
