As I kick the New Year off, I am reading a few wonderful books. The one that is getting me back on track after a lovely - cookie filled holiday is called "The Quantum Wellness Cleanse" by Kathy Freston. I have done this cleanse 2 times before and was most successful when I did it with a friend. So at Inspire Yoga Studio here in Penfield, NY we are getting a group together to help each other "Reset" our bodies. First meeting is this Wednesday at 7:30pm.
The wonderful thing about this cleanse is it takes 5 ingredients out of our diets. There is no supplements etc... just good solid nutrition based on plants. The five ingredients that we take out are:
1. Caffeine
2. Alcohol
3. Gluten
4. Animal Products
5. Sugar
A very good point that the author makes is this, "I know that whenever I find myself thinking I couldn't possibly give this or that up , I realize just how much I am owned by it......and I know it's time to let go..."
As we welcome the New Year, it is a perfect time for new beginnings and creating better health habits. Remember our body is our "vehicle" for life, if we don't take care of it who will?
Let me end with a wonderful quote from the movie, "Chocolate":
"Listen, here is what I think. I think we can not go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do. By what we deny ourselves. What we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include."
Happy New Year!!!
Namaste.
