Do you wish your life had a “control-alt-delete” feature so you could just reboot and start over?  If you feel you need or want a reset button or a life-sized “do-over,” this is the blog for you. Ironically, you probably won’t read what you’d expect, regardless of what kind of reset you’d like – physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.  It doesn’t take more discipline, or another diet, or another self-help book, or another new exercise regimen to reset your life. 

After years of trying all these things in an attempt to reset my life or try again every New Year, I have discovered that what works best for me is a step back –or out- of the routine of my life.  And, I have also discovered that the best way to step back and out of the routine of my life is to temporarily change my eating habits by upgrading my diet for 7 to 14 days.  I have found that since eating is a physical, mental, emotional, and sometimes spiritual practice, that eating more mindfully has a profound effect on each of these realms.  And at the end of the 7 to 14 days, I always have more clarity on what is sustainable, healthy, and true for me in each of these realms.  I always end up upgrading my life.

So, I know I have written many times about The Cleanse as a way to eat healthier, and lose weight, but it also serves to increase clarity and vitality quicker than anything else I’ve tried.  If you want to feel BETTER FAST, this is certainly the best way I’ve discovered.  And although many people have told me that it sounds so EXTREME, it really isn’t!  Believe me, I LOVE food and do not like to GO HUNGRY!  If you’ve been holding out or are afraid to try The Cleanse, give yourself permission to do it IMPERFECTLY.  Meaning, instead of cutting out all caffeine, reduce your intake by half.  Do it however you can do it.  Any attempt will enhance your quality of life and be an act of kindness and compassion to living on this planet (in terms of sustainable eating.)  Find your way to be successful and stretch yourself just a bit.  It’s about progress, not perfection.

I don’t know of a better way to start a New Year or to start over.  And, I would love to support you - send me an email at scirihal@hotmail.com.  You can learn more about The Cleanse here.
