Good morning Wellness Warriors! Happy happy Saturday!
Guess what? It's fasting day again. Hope you remembered. If you're up for it, fantastic! If not, just eat light and bright today. Try to stick to uncooked foods as much as possible. Salads, whole fruits, raw or lightly steamed veggies... One of the benefits of fasting is mental clarity and spiritual purification. Fasting gets rid of excess. It peels off the layers of dullness revealing a holy honey core. Some of the greatest spiritual teachers, activists, artists, and philosophers used periodic fasts to connect with a deeper layer of self. Gandhi, Buddha, Jesus, Mother Theresa, Plato, Aristotle, Abraham Lincoln, and Leonardo da Vinci are among some of the fasting hall of famers. Buddha's experience with fasting is very Crazy sexy. While he did experiment with longer fasts, Buddha found them too extreme (me too!). Instead he opted for the one day tune-up that led him to the middle way and enlightenment. Buddha is hot!
FOCUS
Think about other areas of excess in your life. Closets? File cabinets? How about your phone book? Whoa. this may be time for a little housecleaning, and not just with the mop and broom. It's time to detox the little black book. You just don't have enough energy to tap yourself out with people who take, take, take. The people who really matter will step up to the plate.
POSITIVE SELF TALK
With a loving heart, help me to release the relationships that bring me down. I bless them and send them to the light so I don't have to haul their tired *kitten* around in my mind. Guide me to surround myself with people who give and receive with ease.
POSITIVE SELF TALK
I am a magnet of goodness and starlight. Like attracts like. The relationships in my life are nurturing and I am supported today.
GOD POD MAINTENANCE
Take a salt or apple cider vinegar bath after your 35 min move and shake session today. (just add 2 cups to running water)
TIP
How are those naps coming? Are you training yourself to shut down and time out? If not, try to for 15 min today to just zone out. Find a corner of the cush and close those eyes. Allow your mind to wander off to distant places. During fasting, stripped of some of the layers, you just don't know where your mind might take you. Oh, and are you getting 8 hours of nightly snooze? If not, be sure your closing down the eating tract about 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. It could be your digestive system that's keeping you up.
PHYSICAL CHALLENGE
Good ole jumping jacks... Gotta love them. How many can you do before you take your first break? With every down movement, I want you to celebrate your love for yourself with a quick cross of the arms and hug. With every up movement, I want you to remember your potential and how much you can accomplish by reaching very very high for the stars.
Enjoy your weekend my loves. And see you tomorrow morn for the sea salt flush - our favorite.
