Wow, day 6 of the master cleanse completed. New Year’s Eve is in a few days and I can’t wait to start 2017 with a reset body and mind. Things I have learned so far:
Cleansing makes me crave and appreciate what is truly good for my body, like a whole grain toast with poached egg and avocado. My junk food cravings are practically gone.
Yes, I do think of food as I sip on lemonade only, with teas being my only “treat”, but I am amazed by my will power. What I began I will finish. And I can.
I haven’t had to do a salt water flush yet, smooth move yogi tea is amazing. I think it will be a “fun” experiment on day 7, have to try it at least once--especially with the awesome himalayan pink salt I purchased.
Exercise--free weights and bike rides--gets me high on endorphins when I am cleansing. Had to scale down the intensity a bit but it still feels wonderful.
My daily wellness ritual of putting green tea bags on my eyes, and cold gel eye pads as well, 10 minutes each, has turned out to be not only a beauty but most of all a meditation ritual.
Keeping a daily record has been challenging, but I do appreciate writing the words, I did it.
Chanuka is not the same without latkas but I am focusing on the lights completely, and appreciating every moment of them being lit. The chanukiah will shine brightly on New Year’s Eve, the final 8th day of the holiday, and I can’t wait--not least because then I will eat!
