An Atempt at a Juice Feast
Well, I decided to start a three day juice feast today. Actually I decided yesterday to start it today. It went really well until about 4:00pm when I realised I didn't have enough produce in the house to make juice with, and I wasn't in a position to make a quick run to the store. But it ended up being okay because when I came to that pivital moment when I had to make a desision about whether to eat something or just continue with water until I could get to the store, I was able to pause for a moment and really ask my body what it needed more-food or liquid. I came to the conclution that I would go ahead and eat a small dinner. I just felt like I had been well hydrated, and didn't feel I could go much longer on just water. So no, not a real juice feast, but I did learn that my body will let me know what it needs if I am in tune to it's needs. I did second guess myself for a minute wondering if I was just needing an emotional fix. So I took a look back at my day and realized nothing really happened that pushed my emotional stability to the brink of sanity. I had a truly wonderful day feasting on the juices of the fruits of the earth. I felt uplifted both mentally and spiritually, and I felt cleaner. The clarity of mind while juicing is so refreshing! And this is from only a few days of consuming juice- not even full fledged juice feasting! If you are at all curious about juice feasting, just give it a try! Just start with a day, then extend for as long as your body needs. I think what I will be doing is gradually increase my juicing days. I'll just play it my ear (or body) and enjoy the journey. That's what it's all about after all!
