Start where you are

Good Morning!! Well today is day six of Dr. Moo’s juicing program. Wow!!! Let me tell you this has not been easy. When I did this program 26 years ago, I was 39 years old, and not sick. I simply did it because I thought at the time maybe it would be an avenue my father, who had been diagnosed with a form of cancer that was without a cure, would be willing to do. This was not his journey. Now, I realize, maybe this was to save my life now. Soooooo, getting to the now. Not so easy. It is not a little bit of juice. It is not drinking only juice and done. It includes many different items that are important for the cleansing. The second day, I can say I was sad, and thought…this is too hard. Then came day 3, when I woke up, I remembered that the very sick people that had come to the program to try to save their lives had also suffered emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically for a period of time as well. That being said I am on day 6. Random pains come up, different excretions, fatigue, and bouts of sadness come. They also go. I am learning to embrace the moment. Staying as well as I can in mindfulness, and working on being present in the moment. Bad or good, trying to not judge the moment and categorize it. My hourly five minutes of deep breathing are getting better. I have been doing saunas every day with meditation throughout the duration. I am up to thirty minutes. Yes, that means no devices. Weird! Hourly exercise is also part of the program. I am not healthy enough to start very high on this, so I have started bouncing on a yoga ball and stretching as I am on it. EEEHHHaw!!! I am doing that throughout the day. I want to incorporate other forms of exercise, but I have realized not yet. Right now, I am excited and happy to be on this journey, but then a new moment will come, so I am holding on for now. Happy day and love to all…………..Kristi
