Yesterday was my "hardest" day so far. Day 5.... I was a little irritable and very tempted to eat! I made some yummy buffalo tacos for the kids last night... fresh lettuce, tomato, guac, salsa, black beans, refried beans, brown rice, tortillas.... mmmmm.
My Jayden was telling me I should eat... "You "deserve" to eat, Mama." She is concerned for me, sweet girl. I reinforced how great this fast is for me and what it does for me. It is put into incredible words by Yuri...
We detoxify and cleanse for health,
vitality, and rejuvenation.
We cleanse our body to clear symptoms,
treat disease, and prevent future problems.
A cleansing program is an ideal way to
help you re-evaluate your life, make changes,
or clear abuses and addictions.
We also detoxify and cleanse to rest and heal
our overloaded digestive organs. This is often
an overlooked, yet very important, area
considering optimal health truly begins
with the health of our digestive system.
Aside from the internal health benefits,
detoxification can also be a great catalyst
for external change. For instance, it can
provide a great opportunity to reflect and
re-evaluate what' is most important to you.
It can serve to help you cleanse your house,
your work, your relationships. After a cleanse,
you will even feel more organized, more creative,
more motivated, more productive, more relaxed,
and more mentally focused and clear.
more youthful and radiant skin, and greater
health for life, then cleansing should be a
regular (annual or semi-annual) part of your life.
Re-evaluating and making changes for sure!
I have been used to saying, "I want "that" so I am going to have it... and have it now. Why should I have to wait for it?"
This fast is opening my eyes to having to "wait." I'm not sure I can explain it...
Here are some things that have come up so far...
I have thought more about money and the way it relates to this fast. I can now see it's okay not to have something off the shelf, or a latte, right now. I can now see more clearly the idea behind saving and investing and working my way up to being "free" to spend.... and not just on me. I want to be wealthy so I can help others, share and have more of an impact on this world around me.
Somehow, cooking has become more of a love of mine than a chore. Seeing how I am choosing not to eat, not sure how this came about! Not being with my ex these last two years has helped tremendously, also. I remember feeling like I had to cook to make his day. But, there has been something with this fast that is making me see and feel cooking in a whole new light. Now I'm loving it! Every ingredient, every topping and spice, mmmmmm.... just loving it.
Also waiting for my love... just waiting. I was getting a bit impatient and cravings have been out of control! Now feeling more like I can do it... I can wait. Not having expectations, not knowing the outcome, but waiting for whatever it is. It's very similar to this fast. No matter the outcome, it's going to be worthwhile and amazing! Maybe we need this space to grow a little more before coming together. I for sure do!
Thanks, again, Universe.... I am so grateful.
Day 6 and still counting... ;)
