Do you believe you can experience abundant, vibrant, and optimal health? If not, what is holding you back from achieving this? Some of us consider ourselves to be whole women, but we do not eat whole food nor do we enjoy living a healthy life. If we took the time to prioritize our health the way we prioritize our careers, our finances and our family relationships, we would discover that our overall health fuels all of these areas.
Many of us do not realize how our clogged colons, the excess weight we carry and our sedentary lifestyles, stifle our decision making processes in both our professional and personal lives. One of the fundamental teachings I have learned regarding self-care is the power of detoxing and cleansing my mind, body, and spirit. This process involves emptying myself of toxic matter, followed by replenishing with healthy, nourishing foods and lifestyle choices. Are you ready to detox your body and allow healing to take place in your life? If so, read on.
7 Reasons to Detox Your Body
1. Boost Your Life Energy
Detoxing is a process of eliminating old fecal matter, old toxic thoughts, toxic patterns, toxic relationships and creating and transforming them into something new and positive. Taking a break from eating old processed junky food and filling your body up with organic, some raw, living, unprocessed, natural whole; foods that you can pronounce and recognize. When you do this on a regular basis, you will discover how whole, plant-based foods fuel your body’s energy reserves.
2. Heal Your Mind, Body & Spirit
As you detox your body, you will discover how connected we really are to our minds and our spirits. It’s the trinity of life itself. If one isn’t working properly then the other pieces aren’t going to work properly either. Everything is a marriage and in order to have a successful marriage the parts inside of the marriage have to be in balance. Healing is simply about creating balance in the body, mind and spirit.
3. Reduce Stress
The body becomes stressed when it is bogged down with artificial foods. And when it does that it attracts stressful situations into our lives. If you are eating what we call a SAD (Standard American Diet) then your body doesn’t recognize more than half of what you call food in your body and so it is undernourished. Undernourished bodies result in weight gain and other diseases of the body. We do not realize that our relationship to food reflects on other connections to our finances, personal relations and more. When we eat foods that create stress within our bodies and minds, we attract experiences that lack peace and balance. Imagine the meat that you are eating and the stress that an animal endured when it died. You are in turn absorbing all of that stress.
4. Improve Your Digestion
One of my greatest teachers told me that constipation is the only disease and proper digestion is the way to optimal health. If your body is properly digesting nutrients and minerals , it’s easier for you to enjoy abundant health. Our bodies are highly intelligent vessels. We honor that blessing by helping it easily do its job when we detox and eat natural, whole and healthy foods.
5. Gain Mental Clarity
When I do a detox, I get more work done in a day than I can would normally finish in a week. Why? Because I’m a clear channel, I can easily make decisions, move on projects and execute them because my body is cleaned out and therefore my mind is clear.
6. Rejuvenate Your Spirit
All of the ancient gurus, sages and teachers knew the power of detoxing and cleansing. They knew that the physical vessel we harbor in called the body needs to be cleaned out like anything else, a house, a car, a garage. Imagine if you did not clean out your house, your car, or your garage for a year. What would it look like? What would it feel like? What would it smell like? And who are you inviting inside of it?
7. Achieve Your Ideal Weight
If you are interested not in weight loss, but in maintaining a body weight that feels really good to you, detoxing is the way to go. Yo-yo dieting, working out in gyms to lose weight, and diet pills are so last decade. Achieving your ideal weight is about getting your body back to its natural state through eating right and taking part in doing fun movements that feed your spirit. Walking outdoors, swimming, belly dance, yoga and stretching are fun, ideal ways to get the body moving and naturally shed weight. The amount of cardio you do helps you work up a sweat and will stimulate your metabolism. The end result is a body that is using its fuel efficiently and becoming toned and strong.
Consider how you can begin to detox your body and your life. Take the steps that you can to ensure that you’ll experience a healthier and happier you.
Happy Cleansing! :))
