Bellamy’s Organic. Mindful Eating? How about Mindful Mums?

It seems that the people at Harvard Business Review (HBR), the journal for corporate high flyers and those that aspire, have caught on to Mindfulness! In a recent article the latest thing in “Leadership Development” is apparently Mindful Leadership! As regular readers of this blog are aware, we’re been preaching Mindful Eating for a long time, so it’s nice to see Harvard discovering what our Mindful Mums already know.

I noticed some recent comments by Australian personality Katriona Rowntree, who clearly has Mindful Eating on her family agenda. Says Rowntree:

“I’ll put out blueberries, grapes, maybe some sliced apple before Andrew has his toast. You can’t force them [to eat], you just leave them to it.”

Rowntree has even managed to convince her jungle-mad son that dates, mangos and grapes are “jungle lollies”, and tries to follow her own advice, reaching for fruit when she has a sweet craving.

She also finds that good routines, with set mealtimes and snack times, help develop good eating habits.

“Then they are less likely to ask for ‘chippies’ and ‘bikkies’,” she said.

“Parents: you are responsible for what your children eat. Choose wisely.”

I don’t think we could say it better ourselves. Bellamy’s is always trying to provide mothers with pure organic foods that enable them to exercise their Mindful Eating options. And that brings us back to Mindful Leadership.

In the HBR article, long time executive coach Pamela Weiss says” “If you want to transform an organisation it’s not about changing systems and processes so much as it’s about changing the hearts and minds of people. Mindfulness is one of the all-time most brilliant technologies for helping to alleviate human suffering and for bringing out our extraordinary potential as human beings.”

We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we don’t make anything other than organic foods – for Mindful Mums.
