Consistency is Fundamental
Find your rhythm
Monday, April 9, 2018 was the day I made it to the middle mark of this 90 day journey. I’m 45 days in which is crazy to me. When I first started this cleanse the thought of doing this for 90 days was exciting and dreadful. I asked myself “what if” so many times and had not even started the process. What if I can’t do this, what if I fall off, what if… Quickly the negativity of the "what if's" wore off as I thought about how dire my situation was. Conventional medicine was not providing a solution, my body was breaking down, and I had no answers. What did I have to lose? My life!
In the very next thought I began to shift my mindset to what if this works, what if I get better, what if this is exactly what I have been praying for? What did I have to gain? My life! I knew that executing this cleanse would take work and serious dedication. I would not be able to dabble here and there if I was expecting a healing outcome. I also knew that if I did not try then I would have failed myself and my family. I would have given up and that is not a part of my character. Perseverance is my makeup. I don't give up easy especially when I have a point to prove. I value living and my life. I have so much to contribute and this cannot be the way it ends.
Even in my early start of the cleanse I missed a few days and honestly I did not like the way that felt. It made me stop and ask my self if I am taking this seriously? Am I expecting this miraculous healing without putting in work - the effort? I made up for those days and since that moment have been dedicated to seeing this through to the end. The extra push also came when I started to actually feel better, have more energy, and see the results of my labor. How special it is to see the work you put into something paying off. My testimony keeps getting better and better because I am showing myself and others that this can be done AND it is working. In this world of quick fixes we sometimes look at our situations and want this quick fix so we can keep moving to the next thing and we are not still enough to learn, fight, and grow in our struggles. It takes work to achieve something. There is a measure of sacrifice to reach your goals and say that you accomplished a dream.
Although life can get tough stay the course. By all means fight your way through to the end. When I was exhausted I pushed to juice my celery and cucumbers. When I kept making excuses about why I couldn't finish I found ways to push through and get creative to meet the asks of the cleanse. Now I am flowing in this cleanse and have found a way to do all it requires. The even better part is I am beginning to feel so good I am finding joy in trying new things and incorporating them into my diet. What if I made it to 45 days? I have and it feels so good. No matter your condition - make the decision to be consistent every day. Your health may not change overnight, but your dedication to yourself to live is worth the fight! Find your flow and soon you will dance to your own beat!
