Officially here. The beginning of October. I've been breaking out my sweaters and boots, feeling so confident I am a little more prepared for what the next few months have in store . I don't know if you were aware, but there was a new moon last week, and boy did I feel it's raft.
It was more of a wake up call. Not one of the easiest, but definitely something that made me rethink, "Why am I doing this and do I still love it?" So much so, I took a few days break, and this is what I concluded. I'm going to keep this shit going and growing.
Let's cleanse. Let's balance what we eat. Let's enjoy everything that enters our beautiful bodacious selves.
Cleansing.
We want to rid the body of Toxins. Toxic buildup over the last few months. If you are like me, you TRY and do this about twice a year. So around this time, it's just what you might need for that pick-me-up. This will readjust our digestive system and make space for what we will need during the winter months. It's a lot more than you think.
HOT WATER WITH LEMON
MILK THISTLE
DANDELION ROOT
TRIPHALA
We are going to reignite the fire within us. Using one of my favorite ways to treat and care for almost everything... food. The food will reawaken what may want to become still from the cool air around us. We are talking mentally and physically, to keep it moving. I believe to help one, we must help the other. So for now, let us start with nourishment we put in our bodies.
CARDONOM/FENNEL/GINGER
PARSLEY
KIMCHI
CITRUS
We focus so much on maintaining this perfect healthy vision. Or maybe more time figuring it out. If we can just take one day to one week to reset, you may find the continuation a little easier. That's the best part. To keep it going.
If you are curious of the extremities/benefits of juicing, GO FOR IT. I highly recommend to try it at least once in your life. If not, Kitchari, for my Ayurveda believers and lovers. And when all else seems intimidating in some way, lets eat clean.
Whole grains, cooked veggies, VEGAN deliciousness. And I mean, vegan DELICIOUSNESS.
SQUASH CURRY
BEET JUICE
KALE SALADS
STEWED APPLES
Doing this may remind you, more than you like, why you chose it. Was it reconnecting? Curiosity? A feeling of accomplishment? To start over? No matter what the reasoning, there is no wrong answer. It's because I guarantee you will find something else involved. You will learn something amazing about yourself and body, that you didn't know possible. Never underestimate the power of SELF healing.
Ignite your own fire this Fall!
