VLOG3 - Juice Feast Day 2 - It's Not Just About the Juice!

Juicing is a rare opportunity to totally rewrite the way we are interacting with our own lives.   Not only are we stepping aside from one of the main focuses of our lives - EATING - but we are also removing an emotional crutch, or a distraction at a minimum for most of us.

I look at juicing  as this wonderful gift and I try to approach it with wonder and excitement because I have never come out of a juice feast not changed on the other side!  Sometimes the changes are an almost miraculous physical healing, sometimes changes are a revelation about myself that I didn't know or a new way of looking at some aspect of my life.  Sometimes I am able to let go of something that has been an emotional sore point for decades, or I am able to look at and consider forgiveness when this was a subject that was unapproachable prior to my juice feast. 

I love to press in to the hard spots and heal what needs to be healed and move out the negativity and limiting beliefs that are not serving me anymore.

I find that I also get to be a great problem solver in my own life the deeper into my juicing that I go. I am able to look at situations with more clarity and objectivity.  Sometimes the change is in me and sometimes the change is in the situation.  I love that!

So when I juice I try to shake up my routines a bit.  I make connecting with myself a priority, and I make it a priority early on in my detox even though I usually get the most growth a lot further into my fasts.  I journal a whole lot more.  I find that my thoughts and insights might just pass me by if I don't write them down, so I keep a listening ear to what I find on my heart and I journal those.

I also make sure that I have time to myself during the day.  My time is in the morning before the other humans in my life are out of bed.  :) I really put a focus on looking at my life and looking at what is working and what isn't.  I look at why it's not working, not projecting blame or negativity on others, and what I can do to shift or change that.

I love being in the beginning of a juice feast where the growth theme hasn't necessarily presented itself yet and there is so much possibility. 

So if you feel so inclined make the most of your time juicing and make sure you aren't missing this opportunity to create positive and lasting change in your life.  It's not just about what you are putting in your mouth.  If that is what you are focusing on you are going to miss out on the bigger blessing.

Everyone enjoy your juicy day and remember to Keep Smiling!
