I am on day 19 of my 21 day detox. What a journey this has been. Next week I wills start to add foods back in to my diet and hit the gym perhaps 3 days. I’ve only been able to hike during these past few weeks and even that was almost too much. My health has improved greatly. I have not had a migraine since I started this program and I was getting one almost weekly. The detox along with neck adjustments have been a life saver. I’ve also lost weight, not that I was shooting for weight loss, it’s just a bi-product.
What has been intense for me is the spiritual journey that I’ve been on over these past few weeks. Without coffee and without any vice foods it’s been amazing to me how much I have struggled. I really needed to get away from those things that were keeping me from connecting. I feel like walls within my psyche have been torn down and rebuilt. I feel tired in that way. Like I need a rest. I’ve had highs and lows for sure.
In the beginning I truly wondered if I’d lost Jesus all together. I thought I must have convinced myself that I was more spiritual then I actually am because without these things I seem to be out of my mind. I felt tired, angry and worried a lot. Some of it was just low blood sugar, some of it was what needed to be stripped away so that I could emerge more whole then before.
I think detox programs are so beneficial. Even though I was a healthy eater and had very high antioxidant levels, I desperately needed to cleanse. The effects of the past and stress can really do a number. I’m grateful to have done this. I know that it will help me to be better in my marriage, my work and better for God. I want to continue improving my health the right way!
