I have started my 3 day wellness cleanse. Earlier this week, my body felt polluted and I was not eating as healthy as I could have been. My mind felt negative and lazy. My house was a mess and I did not have energy to clean it. Plus, I felt my spiritual connection with God/Universe was weakened. I decided to do a 3 day juice cleanse, starting off with two days of smaller proportions and 100% raw vegan food and then into the 3 day juice fast. Those two starter days were more of a challenge than today (the beginning of my juice fast). I think my body was going through heavy detoxification as I was taking many naps and feeling many negative emotions and restlessness with just being.
Today is the first day of my juice fast. I am taking bentonite clay along with the juice. I am reading Cherie Calbom's "Juicing, Fasting, and Detoxing for Life" for inspiration and motivation. I still have to work and be out and about around the community for my job and so far I have not felt the lack of energy that I anticipated. Although my spiritual mind has not been completely enlightened yet... I do feel a calm sense of caring about slowing down and appreciating my surroundings. I do feel more connected and patient and my focus is turning to cleaning up my messy house and organizing my priorities, which I had trouble focusing on earlier this week with my lethargic mindset. Most of all, I have the desire to let go of material things as well as negative thoughts that are not serving me justice. My mind is telling me to live more simply. I plan on going through my house and donating everything that does not have a purpose or I use on a weekly basis. I had this idea when I was hiking in the mountains in Montana a couple weeks ago. However, once I came home, got back into society and my job, my mind became overwhelmed and polluted with things it thought it needed. Once I do my "fall" cleaning I think my mind will feel more organized because I will have less stuff to worry about. How can one 's mind be organized if their environment is a mess?
That's all for now. I will post my thoughts as I continue along with this juice fast. If I can make it through these 3 days and still have the willpower, I might two 2-3 days blended foods.
