A quick “flush” is not going to remove years of buildup in the body, not in any organ or system. It is crucial to understand that you may have ignored your little insides for a very long time and they’re going to need some time to trust you again. 😉 Four days of organic juice does not a healthy body make after 40 YEARS of junk!
Cleansing is not a quick fix. It is a healing investment.
Different people will need to cleanse for different periods of time and at different levels of intensity. This will be directly related to how the body has been cared for and over how long.
Learn to trust yourself. Try not to second guess everything and expect there to be a “right way” that everyone resets. There are some tips and tricks to getting things moving in the right direction, but only you will know what your body needs. Only you can gauge if your emotions are holding you back or if you need longer to feel like the waste is moving out.
This is a time to lean into your intuition and learn, maybe for the first time, to truly LISTEN to your body as much as you tell it what to do.
If you cleanse a little and move right back into your previous lifestyle, you will see minimal results. We know it’s popular to do a quick diet or reset, and those can be a great start, but the TRUE change comes in your mind. Is your goal to get back to what you were doing before, or to start fresh, giving your body what it really needs day in and day out? Your body is the only one you have, so treat it well!
Cleansing is about a period of more extreme focus, leading to a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable and balanced. You may choose to cut out a lot of foods, to take an intensive amount of supplements, or to limit certain things in your life, but these should be viewed as a fast – as a way of giving yourself more energy to heal, with the goal being a life change full of what is good and free of what chains us.
Do you listen to your body? Do you ask yourself what things mean when you are feeling a certain way? Do you feel ready to make lifestyle changes, not just quick stabs at health?
Let’s do it together!
