Don’t wait for the perfect day or perfect moment to start. The perfect time to start is now!
Get excited about your new beginning.
Make printouts of supplemental fact sheets and keep them in your journal. Know about what you are taking and why. The brain is so unbelievably powerful. Why not use it to speed up the body’s healing process?
If flower essences or homeopathic remedies are part of your program, be sure to check the site for best practices on usage.
Keep an on going record of any feelings, (physical, mental and emotional), that may arise during the program. Noting any changes in the body are key to developing self-awareness as the body begins the rebalancing process.
Eat at least 3 balanced meals per day. Skipping meals only slows down the metabolic process.
WATER…Pure water… It is vital to all body systems to drink proper amounts of purified water.
(The general rule is daily consumption of 1⁄2 ounce of water per pound of body weight.)
Herbology is based on the principle that if systems of the human body (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, etc.) are functioning properly, then the body will achieve and maintain optimum health. Vitamins, minerals and herbs are intended to supplement your proper diet to help support the body's systems.
It is important to your overall health to limit intake of caffeine, carbonated beverages, fried or refined foods and sweets. Avoidance of white flour, sugar, high fructose and artificial sweeteners are a sure move in a positive direction. Stick to Stevia, Xylitol, Honey or Raw Sugar for your sweeteners.
It is important to recognize that a diet high in organic fresh fruits, protein and vegetables from non-chemically produced sources are traditionally the healthiest diet for overall wellness.
Add Fiber to your diet. Increase fiber slowly to reduce bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain and gas.
Dietary fiber is only found in plant foods, highest fiber foods are whole grain cereals followed by legumes, root vegetables then fruits.
Over cooked foods are not helpful to the program. Enzymes that help digest foods are destroyed when the food reaches 122 degrees.
Depending on your program, choose one day a week to go off of the supplements to help the body utilize what it has and begin to repair itself. Please see your notes
Find Beauty, Humor and Kindness every day. If you cannot find it, then be the source.
Remind yourself at least 3 things in your journal for which you are grateful. Write these findings in your journal daily. As you search for these attributes, they will begin to offer themselves up to you in the most surprising ways. Keep positive thoughts and look forward to each day as it brings you closer to balance and a better quality of life.
Find things you enjoy and choose one as part of your program.
Surround yourself with positive, supportive people.
Let’s not underestimate fresh air, sunshine and getting the body moving no mater what your activity level. A little can go a long way.
Always remember that your supplements will only be beneficial if you actually take them … Funny how that works.
