Thoughts For A Totally Free Weekend

“Thoughts for a totally FREE weekend….

(Inspired by my group of cleansers on day 3!)

Who doesn’t LOVE the weekend?

Especially summer when the weather is awesome and the parties are hoping…

While the FUN factor is HOT, the HEALTH factor is NOT.   This can often be our most challenging time to “Stay on track”  and make positive, healthy choices.

There is no schedule, there is no structure, invitations abound, temptation is on every corner, and “freedom” is at our finger tips….

Most are working out their plans to “indulge” in some form or another.

But what if you make one simple mind shift….  What if your definition of “Freedom”  and “Letting Go” was the FREEDOM to say YES to YOU WITHOUT hesitation or apology.

What if this meant the FREEDOM NOT drink, to NOT eat food you know if going to make you feel like crap, to NOT succumb to peer pressure or temptations you KNOW never make you feel good!

What if your definition of FREEDOM becomes defined by making choices for YOU without even worrying about what anyone else thinks or says?  

Saying YES to making positive food choices, saying YES to drinking sparkling water instead of alcohol, saying YES to going to yoga or the gym instead of sleeping in and waking up feeling like crap….

Just a thought, and a consideration for you as we roll right into the weekend.  No judgment, just contemplation.

I hear repeatedly from cleansers how LIBERATING and EMPOWERING it is for them to say NO to unhealthy choices they never really want to make but somehow end up making, and to saying YES to things that make them FEEL good. 

One way to make this decision easier is by establishing a positive, beneficial morning routine. I have broken down some tips in how to do so in my FREE guide, download here.

One of the many gifts of the cleanse program.

Many have it programmed in their mind they have to say YES to make other people feel comfortable…  but what are you doing in the process?  

Saying NO to yourself….  And YOU are the one that gets to suffer the consequences.

Again, one of the reasons people REALLY like being on the the cleanse – it gives them an EXCUSE to make positive, self-honoring choices!  That, and they feel like a super hero.  😉

There exists a possibility for a new way of being in the world.  No judgment, just an opportunity.

Food for thought…..

Perhaps today you can spend a little bit of time getting clear in what is right for you and the choices you are going to make this weekend despite whatever situation you find yourself in…..  And remember, preparation is the key.  So pack your own lunch for the beach or the picnic, bring a big salad to share at the BBQ….  Whatever it is – just decide for YOU!

If anyone wants to jump in with our current group of cleansers, it’t not too late!  We can get you rolling so you are fully supported and on a path for a new way of being!!
