Mindfulness. It’s a pretty straightforward word. It suggest that the mind is fully aware of the choices that are being made. That we are making decisions with our full attention and with intention. So why is this concept sometimes so difficult to incorporate in our day to day? Sometimes it appears as if the opposite, living without intent is the easier decision. Our mind and body sometimes take flight, we lose touch with our bodies and we end up experiencing moments of disarray.

When taking our future into consideration and reflecting on the the affects that these decisions play into our daily lives being mindful certainly makes sense.

Mindfulness is our ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we are doing despite the outside factors that might affect our decisions.

We’ve asked ten food and beverage experts how they define mindfulness, how they incorporate mindfulness into their daily routine and what inspires them to live a mindful lifestyle.
