    Helpful support while practicing mindfulness can be to listen to music. Try selecting a piece of music you’ve never heard before (preferably without lyrics), and allow yourself to be lost in the melody.

    My tips: Store food in glass or stainless steel instead of plastic, take shopping bags and produce bags to the grocery store and make your own salad dressing.
