Day 3: 30-Day Spring Cleanse, Emotional Detox & Spritual Reading
Hello Detox Devotees!
Thank you for following my 30-Day Cleanse blog.
Day 3, March 10th, 2013
I woke up today feeling very emotional and a bit stressed in the head. When I feel the pressure coming from within to “do do do”, I know it’s time for a break, downtime and reflection.
While reflecting today I realized that I had been “using” the addictive, temporary, feel-good chemicals to comfort and numb my emotions. Without coffee and chocolate/sugar, I am able to feel more; be more in tune with my emotions, the cause of the stress and my intuition.
One of benefits of doing a physical cleanse is once you eliminate the toxic substances (alcohol, medications, drugs, sugar, coffee, etc.) used to numb and comfort your emotions you allow yourself to feel, understand and release the stress.
This is the emotional side of detox, once you stop numbing (with alcohol, drugs, medication, sugar) you start to feel what wants to be expressed and not repressed. It’s important during an emotional cleanse to slow it down, rest and take care of yourself.
Like I always say “feeling is healing”.
