The trick to become healthier is actually in your mind
Mindfulness helps to set the physical time and the mental space to observe yourself, your thoughts, and your tendencies. It allows a deeper understanding, helping you to change, and to evolve.
Have you ever been eating without realising how much you eat, or even the taste of it? Bringing awareness to it could be the key to realise your behaviour, its consequences, and to transform your habits.
Mindless means your mind is somewhere else but not here, while mindfulness implies being in the moment paying attention of the happenings in and out yourself, as an impartial observer without judgement.
Being disconnected with the body could lead to not hear the messages from it, when it is full or hungry, or understanding what it needs, like driving a car blindly. And it could have some consequences sooner or later, which causes would seem unexplainable.
But, in most cases everything started much earlier, in a long slow process of choices along years. And this, could probably have been prevented by bringing more awareness to your actions, allowing the mental space to take different turns, and so, to make a different history.
