Happy Tuesday ,
Welcome to Day 3 of putting YOU First! How are you feeling?
Today’s challenge is simple but SO powerful: eating alone. This isn’t just about having a meal by yourself — it’s about really nourishing yourself.
Here’s why it matters:
Mindful eating has been shown to improve digestion, reduce overeating, and increase satisfaction with your meals (Harvard Health). Eating alone, without distractions, allows you to focus on the food and the moment.
Your Task:
- Enjoy a solo meal: Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or a snack, sit down by yourself, enjoy the food, and really be present. No distractions — just you and the food that's nourishing your body.
And if you're not sure where to do, check out the Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant Group, which includes RPM *my fave*, Joe's Seafood, Steak & Stone Crab, and Wildfire (DMV); Big Bowl and Mon Ami Gabi (Chicago); and Eiffel Tower Restaurant in Vegas.
Lettuce Entertain You also has a Frequent Diner Club where you earn $10 in Reward Dollars for every $150 you spend. Membership is FREE, and it’s so easy to start: 👉 Join here
Why It Matters:
When you eat alone, you create space for mindfulness, giving your body the opportunity to fully absorb the nutrients it needs. Plus, it’s a chance to recharge — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
Taking this time for yourself is one of the easiest ways to practice self-care. It’s a small action that can have a big impact on your overall well-being.
