Wow, it is hard to believe that today marks three years since I began this journey, and that’s exactly what it is.
So, in true fashion, to celebrate this joyous occasion, like every year, I’m detoxing, only liquids and today is day 12. I feel AMAZING! I use the month of June to reflect, reset, recharge. It’s an opportunity for me to unplug and reconnect with my most inner self.
Reflection
Reflection brings about correction and it is an opportunity for me to refocus and to remember my WHY! In doing so I am also afforded the opportunity to be brutality honest with myself. You know the saying, you can fool others (sometimes) but you cannot fool yourself. This is a very true statement! I reflect on not only my accomplishments but also my failures. Doing so helps me to be better successful in the upcoming year.
Reset
Resets are great and gives me the opportunity to digress from the stressors of life. What I usually do, as stated earlier is DETOX! My detoxes are not only physical but also mental. So not only do I take a break from eating I also detox my mind from social media, radio, television, (which I do not look at a lot) and any and everything that can at times be toxic. I sit still and I meditate daily which I find very liberating. I drink nothing but water or I juice fruits or vegetables and sometimes I drink herbal teas. This year I also challenged myself to walk 100 miles. It is a great opportunity to provide exercise to the most important muscle, the heart, to get out in nature and to release that which is old and usher in the new.
Recharge
Recharging provides me the strength to continue on this journey. One of the main ways I recharge is re-watching YouTube videos that I once watched prior to this journey. It reunites the fire in me. In doing so I am reminded of some things that I previously heard and something new catches my attention. Of course taking a break from solid foods is another way that I choose to recharge. I am not certain how long I will detox but I know the benefits will be bountiful and I will feel even better than I do today.
In the past three years I have detoxed off and on as detoxing itself is a journey. Think about it, it took years for the body to become toxic, so that means it will take time to bring the body into a healthy state. All in all this journey is and has been very rewarding. I am looking forward to the beyond.
