Hiya Wellness Warriors!
Even though it's technically Tuesday, it may be our emotional hump day. You may hit your first real wall today. Brava! Hit it and climb it champ. It's really just a speed bump. You may feel some physical detox symptoms, such as fatigue, headaches, a foggy brain, skin rashes, and muscle weakness. That's okay; it's normal. your body will jump at the opportunity to remove stored toxins. This is training wheels week, so stay where you are and grin and bear it.
FOCUS
In your mind's eye, imagine how good it feels to start something new and see it to completion. For a minute or two, close your eyes and picture a colorful calendar. Watch yourself as you check off each day of the cleanse with a green marker. Let the joy wash over you as you usher your accomplishment into your tissues. You did it! Now open your eyes and know that you will do it, to the best of your ability at this time. The only failure is inaction.
POSITIVE SELF TALK
Allow me to let go of the restraints and get out of my own way. I am as free as I will let myself be, and I could really use a gentle reminder (and perhaps a flick on the patooskies.)
AFFIRMATION
I am so freakin' cool and delicious and pretty and witty and sharp! I love every inch of me! Who wouldn't?
GOD POD MAINTENANCE
Work it, girl, work it! Your lymph needs you. Hey, cutie, this is also a great day to play with your neti pot. Your sinuses and lungs will bow to you.
TIP
If you're jonzing for a frappuccino or a Cinnabon, here are a few Crazy Sexy tips to ride the wave of the crave without falling into the ocean:
o Have a snack that's high in protein and some fat, such as nuts, seeds, and avocado.
o Sip a hot herbal tea with a bit of stevia or agave.
o Get a satisfying boost from a zesty lemonade made with a couple of freshly squeezed lemons, stevia, and mint or berries.
o Juice up a nutrient-packed green drink or smoothie with some good fat in it, like coconut or avocado.
o Enjoy a rice cake with almond butter or a baked sweet potato.
o Go for a small piece (about 1 inch square) of dark chocolate 70% or higher is best. Cacao rocks; carob, too. Savor them.
o Sip some almond milk with cocoa and stevia
o Snack on a cup full of low-glycemic fruit salad (pears, apples, blackberries)
o Floss, brush, and gargle with natural minty mouthwash. It sends the signal that the office of eating is temporarily closed for business.
o Change your environment until the crisis passes. Go for a walk, call a friend, take a bubble bath, cuddle your pet, have hot sex!
PHYSICAL CHALLENGE
3 sets of 20 burpees
Here's a video from youtube demonstrating how to do it:
