Clear Your Head
Cleansing your body and your environment has its effects on your mind. You are longing for harmony, purity, clarity, quality and simplicity in your life. You are right, this is the time for change, sorting things out. Clearing your head will bring you closer to yourself and the life that feels as the right fit for you. It is never too late for change. Change is evolution, life.
Detox is mostly seen as a pure physical process. But what about your environment, the people you are surrounded with, the work you are doing, the way you think? An environment or a lifestyle that doesn’t fit you and thoughts can be so negative that they too toxin your life. Body and mind are one. A detox that goes only that far as the body isn’t fulfilled. After a while you will be thrown back in a spiral of negativism and grab for the food which can stuff the depressing feelings of sadness, loneliness, confusion, indecision and restlessness. If you are looking for that change that will improve the quality of your life, detox has to go further than flushing your body and become a soul search, a detox on all levels.
Don’t be surprised if you can let go of addictions all of a sudden. Even if you might have been fighting them without any result since many years. By breaking through certain patterns and becoming aware about the whole system you built up to feel ‘good’, you can see through them and let go easier. Moreover once you are detoxing you will crave honesty toward yourself in the first place. Mental freedom is almost an unthinkable state if you have been captured by your thoughts for years. When you stop ‘feeding’ them, you can set yourself free.
Food is often an expression of how we feel and think. Cravings aren’t only reactions to physical conditions or shortcomings. They can tell you a great deal about yourself if you intercept them and recognize their root. It isn’t always easy to see the difference between eating out of hunger or eating out of emotional needs because they can make you feel just as hungry.
Why is it important to know why you are eating? Because you want to get rid of thoughts ruled by food and food ruled by emotions. Insight clears your head and gives you the mental space to think your own thoughts instead of being driven by negativism or coercion. It gives you the emotional independence and freedom you need to be a whole person. Undefinable cravings create endless restlessness. Eliminate them to find your calm and to open up to what appeals to you in a constructive way. All the energy you needed to deal with these kind of emotions will be revealed and available for you to use for what you want to do, to reach and to live your dreams.
In this phase of detox, we will first look at your emotions and thoughts to see of what influence they are in your life. Being conscious and knowing what means what is the first step to stand up against overwhelming cravings. Where are your cravings coming from? How do you stuff emotions, with which food, how do you feel? Defining how you want to feel will motivate you to take action and clear that part that has been feeling like a block to fully live and enjoy your life.
A pleasant side effect of being free of emotional cravings is that you will eat less, be satisfied with less food and so lose the weight you couldn’t get rid of before. You are ready to go up to a next level now.
