It's been said the way we eat is the way we f*ck.

How do you eat your food? When you are alone? When you are with others? When you are hungry? When you are relaxed?

Try giving yourself a pleasure date with food. See what happens when you set yourself up to explore.

Select yummy foods YOU LIKE. They don't have to be 'good for you' - just something that feels really good when you eat it. If you are not sure what to eat: select 2-3 options and, one at a time, hold your attention or hands around each one and let yourself make a sound. What do you hear? Is it a grunt or a coo or a nah. Listen to what your body wants.

Give yourself some time, put on some music. Lay back. Use your hands. Get messy. Get weird. Smell it. Savor it. Chew slowly. Let each bite fill your mouth. Go slowly. Notice your whole body.

Try mixing in some of the other practices/prompts from other days like tease and denial, slow flow, getting messy for pleasure, or even genital massage.

Once, I was amazed at how good it felt to give myself a genital massage while eating pizza. Mix it up.
