Expressing gratitude for the food on our table is universal.
- Sarah McElwain , author of Saying Grace.
Whether or not you practice a religion, consider 'Saying grace' before your meals. Saying grace expresses gratitude for what you are about to eat, in the form of a prayer. You can thank God or a higher power, or simply thank the universe for giving you the food you are about to enjoy. You can thank the farmer who planted it, the workers who harvested it, the grocer who sold it and (if not yourself) the person who prepared it.
Saying grace can remind you of your connection and indebtedness to all other living beings. It can even help you be mindful of the quality and amount of food you eat. Try saying grace before every meal - with friends, family, when alone or at work!
