[1:21] Speaker 1: appreciate the flavors, textures, and aromas of your food. It's
[1:25] Speaker 1: like giving yourself a mini vacation from the hustle and
[1:27] Speaker 1: bustle of daily life. Two. Listen to your body. Ever

[1:35] Speaker 1: actually bored or stressed. Stoicism emphasizes understanding our internal signals.
[1:40] Speaker 1: Learn to differentiate between true physical hunger and emotional cravings.
[1:45] Speaker 1: Before reaching for that bag of chips, ask yourself, am

[2:42] Speaker 1: and there will be times when you slip up or
[2:44] Speaker 1: indulge a little too much. Instead of beating yourself up,
