As a parent, I learned to re-focus my attention when I have time to spend with my daughter, to be mindful of this delicious but fleeting time in our lives. Even before her birth, I stopped to eat and read, or do anything while eating. To my surprise, it&#8217;s made a huge difference in what, how and how much I eat. Nowadays, I feel dizzy when I attempt to eat and read at the same time, and it reminded me of my training in TCM, how the small intestine is the organ for discernment of what is good for us, and what is not.
