Detoxing October 26, 2007
Welcome to my Blog. My intention to detox the world one person at a time started about 8 years ago. Looking back now I know I made the right decision. I had lived with many symptoms for many years, symptoms I accepted as part of my life and although I had BIG dreams and the drive and motivation to get there, I did not have my health or the energy to pursue my dreams.
I was eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis, I considered myself healthy but what boggled me was the massive energy slump I would experience during the day. This would continue for months and I even started dreaming of a potential business offering rejuvenating naps for all employees at a discounted rate. Imagine how much more efficient and pro-active your staff will be taking 15 min power naps.
Coming back to reality, dreaming or taking power naps was not the answer. I stumbled across a book declaring ” I will heal your symptoms and boost your energy”. Hmmm, another hype, short lived magic solution? My optimistic side agreed, a solution! Ignoring the valid cries of my pessimistic side, I grabbed the book, paid and made a run for it. This single action took me to where I am today. DETOXING would prove to be the one thing that would totally restore and rejuvenate my energy.
I believe now that even though we may have the motivation and determination to achieve our goals and dreams, we need our health, energy and vitality to pursue them. DETOXING opened me up to a world of getting up and taking action. I now have the energy to pursue my dreams, the health to enjoy my results and the knowledge that I am bearer of my fruits, as long as I nourish and replenish my body with respect and love, I can continue to enjoy what life throws at me.
What experiences have you had trying out different DETOX regimes?
What worked for you and what didn’t?
I went through a really bad stage where I ate whatever I wanted. I started noticing I took longer to wake up in the morning and got really tired during the afternoon. I was suffering from mood swings and irritability. I tried a detox from a book and really enjoyed it but I did find it very hard to stick to it and keep my willpower in power. So I did it in the end, not to the full extent but I def noticed vast improvements in my energy levels and could at least wake up in the morning without relying on my alarm clock. I would like to try again but this time really be strict and see how different my results might be.
