Day Ten - Living in the Moment

I don't know about you but as I'm going through this process, I think a lot about "how many days has it been?" or "How many days do I have left?"  It's always been a challenge for me to stay present and take in moments as they come.  It's natural for most people to worry about the future and wonder if they made to many mistakes along the way.  The future and past are simply things we can do nothing about, yet it consumes our thoughts constantly.  You might think, well of course I can do something about my future, and to an extent you can.  But, you can't plan exactly how it's going to happen - you can only pick a direction.  I've found as I redirect myself from time to time to be present and feel each moment I am in - it's truly the best place to be.  It's a place without worry, a place of comfort, and the place I want to be the most.  It's amazing how many of us let great moments pass by because we are consumed in our thoughts of worry.


So, back to the cleanse.  Try and not focus on the big fat cheeseburger you are going to have at the end of all this or the wishing of never starting this process in the first place.  As you eat each meal think about the benefits that these fruits and veggies are having on your body.  At lunch time go outside and look at the beautiful view around you, feel the breeze surrounding you, and embrace the amazing people you have in your life.  Thinking about all the things I can have again on day 21 just makes me miserable, doesn't it do the same for you?
