Slowing down


Continuing my quest to slow down, I am going to fast today.

It felt right to practice this today after being successful yesterday.

What, you think not eating for a day is unhealthy?  Better rethink your relationship with food.

I used to practice this one day out of a week for many many months. I broke the fast with fresh made salsa (tomato, cilantro, sweet onion, poblano pepper) and chips. 

My body feels comfortable today to fast. I still prepare meals for my family, I just give my body a break for the day.  Of course, I'm hydrated. I'll start with coffee and workout with lemon water. 

If you think about it, isn't it nice to take a break every once and awhile from such busy activity?

Fasting to me is bringing myself back to center physically.  Sure I can center myself mentally all the time, but when it comes to physical, there's only one way to do this.  It has to be all day to complete the cycle of a day and wake up refreshed and renewed.

Need to wake up refreshed and renewed?  Give it a try!  You'll find out if you have an addiction to food, for sure, but hey, that's what we're all about, right?  Awareness!  Don't be hard on yourself, you're already hard enough on yourself about things, just relax.

Peace to You.
