The Right Frame of Mind
The right frame of mind is vital no matter what the endeavor. Have you ever asked someone to do something for you and they say yes – but they sigh all the time while they’re doing the chore, or complain a lot, or procrastinate?
It’s the same thing for detoxification programs. If you’re nagged into it, or if you embark on a detoxification program out of fear – fear of disease, fear of illness, whatever – it’s like the little kid who agrees to clean his room, but he sighs a lot and talks to himself about the “mean mommy who makes him do stuff.”
Instead of thinking about detoxification as a chore, a burden, or something you’d rather not do, how about embracing this new step forward in your health? If that sounds like too much of a stretch, maybe some sort of daily affirmation such as, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to heal my body. I am going to provide my body with the very best nutrition available and I am going to feel GREAT!!” may help. I have found that my resistance to trying something new usually indicates I have fears about something. You may be saying to yourself ”I can’t eat better because I never follow through with anything” or “I can’t afford to eat this way” or “My friends and family are going to think I’m weird if I start eating this way.” All of these fears can just as easily be shifted from the negative to the positive.
When I get into fear based thinking, at first I honor myself and acknowledge that fear. After acknolwledging the fear, I challenge myself to explore/identify and feel the opposite of those fears. Here’s is an example with the fear ”I can’t afford to eat this way.”
- Sometimes I reason with myself logically.
“Eating this way is cheaper because I won’t be buying all the expensive packaged, processed foods anymore. I will eat out less, so the reality is I will have more money in the bank as well as my health. Down the road, I will have so much more energy that my work will be more productive which will help me make more money. Additionally, I will have my health and well-being.”
- I also try to gain perspective. I try to take a global, “big picture” view of things to diminish the power a fear or limiting belief has over me. “How can I put a price tag on my health?” “I always have enough money for vacations, cars, clothes, etc, but feel like I’m not worth spending for my health.”
- Third, I begin to embrace the opposite of my fear. “How can I afford not to take care of myself?” “I have the right to feel better and nourish myself.” “I deserve to feed my body with the best food available on the planet!” “My life is abundant and money flows easily into my life!”
Here are another few tips that may help shift your mindset from an “oh great, got to cleanse this spring” to “hurray for me! I’m going to feel great!” mindset:
- Write down 3 goals for your spring health detoxification program.
- Write about why you want to achieve those goals – what motivates you?
- Keep a journal or diary and write about your feelings during cleansing, fasting or detoxification programs. Your own words may surprise you.
- Join a Revitalive Cleanse and get the support and guidance you need to help make your cleanse a success.
Enter into your detoxification program with a joyful heart. You’re doing your body a world of good. You’re giving it exactly what it needs to heal itself from the inside out. You’re learning new and wonderful ways to care for your health. Isn’t that worth celebrating?
