Hi Kat – thanks for stopping by! I believe that thoughts are connected to how our bodies feel…We have more power over ourselves than we may think.

Great post, Stacey! I love your post! I believe that a healthy mind equals a healthy body. An individual can take care of his / her body by having a positive outlook in life. Having a positive outlook in life helps a person get rid of negative thoughts which in turn, can result in stress. One way to have a positive outlook in life is to know one’s passion. I think it’s important for a person to know what his underlying values are. These would help him / her feel more motivated and invigorated.

Well, today is a Tae Kwon Do day for me, so as long as I don’t get beaten up I will have definitely accomplished my exercise goals!

Hi Evita – I agree. As counterintuitive as it sounds, the more stressed we are the more we need to pause and take care of ourselves

Hi Jeremy – Thanks for stopping by! Yes, I agree – when you pause you can get more done. I think it’s hard to quantify and until you experience that you don’t “get” how it works!

Hi Tess – Thankfully this is not a fast. We do get to eat. And I can believe how it’s affecting me…I’ll be writing about it next post.

Megan – After almost 4 days, I understand the fear. And at the same time I’m “more free”.

Lance – I knew you were lying! (I hoped…) As hard as it’s been, yes, lots of good is coming out of it. Good I didn’t realize would come!

Stacey,
I’ve decided to take up smoking, eat nothing but junk food, pull a couple of all-nighters, and spend the rest of the time slouching around on the sofa… (now, doesn’t that spring cleanse look WAYYYY better than that!!!) (and…not nearly as scary anymore!!!!)

Okay – I lied – I’m not going to do those things. Although, maybe to some degree, I do. And – is that hurting my body????? (well, I’m sure it’s not helping….)

Hmmm…..

And – good luck to both of you on the cleanse. I’m sure there will be lots of good that comes out of it!!!

That’s so funny about the cleanse and your fears around it. When I was ill last week, I made the same decision to “get clear” (and clean) about what I eat. I’ve always done pretty well in that regard, but there was more I could do, and I knew it. So I started eliminating “clouders” (ice cream, too much sugar), and also switched around the times of what I eat. Fruit & clear tea in the morning. Dairy in the early & late afternoon (but not at night). Nothing past 7:30p. I feel clearer already, and it gets easier every day.

Good luck! You can do this, AND enjoy it!

I run and eat healthy. I did have a some ice cream and strawberries today. I’ve not done a fast in years. I’m wondering what kind of effect it would have on me. Unlike Evita when I’m under stress all my good intentions go out the window.

Hi Stacey, this is Jeremy Johnson and my first time on your website. Very cool place you have here.

You bring up some good points. Sometimes I overdo it with my body by not getting enough sleep. Or I skip exercise because I am “too busy”. I think I echo what Evita is saying above about ‘more to do’ pushing aside healthy habits. The irony is that taking the time for healthy habits will allow you to do more – and do it better.

Thanks for sharing your website!
