Following a Wish - Is Taking Action

Today I have loads of energy - it's as if another detox cycle has completed and I am once again on the upswing. I feel pretty good too - considering I am doing an intensive water fast for clearing parasites from my gut!

And my dreams....well, they are just getting more and more interesting as each day goes by. Or night. I am also sleeping quite deeply at times (as deeply as you can with 2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 children - some of whom get me up at night). 

One thing we are both commenting on is how we never thought it would be this easy - now I am not saying that any of this work is without effort. And perhaps I am comparing all my other cleanses over the years to this one as well.

But, I did prepare myself for the absolute worst case scenario, to be feeling completely rotten and I have only had glimpses of that so far. Maybe those days are still to come - however, right now, I am keeping myself busy and focused on feeling as well as I do.

As far as other normal detox symptoms go - I don't have the usual ones. But, perhaps because this is not a usual detox - it's a cleanse. So, not much in the way of aches and pains, my tongue is coated, but just barely, my skin is clear and all else is working normally.

I sound like a new puppy! LOL

One thing that is changing (once again) is my ability to focus. It has come back sharp and....the only word I could use here is refined. I feel like taking action - on everything. And that is perhaps right where I should be.

Shift Happens...Day 17 of my Cleanse

Lots to think about these days for me, I am carrying on with my cleanse and feeling pretty good. My leg is mostly better (funny how that goes!) and I have been upping my Yoga again. I have learned over the years to keep going no matter what, just modify the routine as you need to but, to not stop....

And that sort of sums up life, doesn't it? No matter what comes our way, do not stop, do not give up, do not give in, do not turn around and for God's sake - do not go back. Just keep thinking, keep doing, keep moving and keep going.

This really is the only way through the obstacles, issues, energy and other stuff that comes up along the way. This is not the time of year to be resting actually - we are in a preparation phase of shifting energy right now and it's about time.

For those who have been actively involved in seeking change, creating something better, moving forwards and shifting your energy onto higher ground - this is the moment we have been waiting for! It's all coming together right now - the energy is right, the time is right and we are finally in the right place for this to happen.

So, what is required of us right now? Perhaps it's to be patient a little longer....maybe it's to give ourselves that little push in new and different directions. Then again, there are always little loose ends that need to be tidied up, connections to be made and more ways to stick our necks out there.

Today is a day for action - small and big ones. If there is only one thing that can keep you going at any time - it should be this; 

Where there's a will, there's a way and those who are willing, will be shown the way...

Ahhh, summer!

Gears We Don't Even Use!

I saw a quote today and it has kept me thinking about my life, the things I want to achieve and all I am doing about getting there. And of course, the fact that perhaps there is far more I could be doing - to push myself a little. Or to push myself a lot.

The quote went something like this; 'life is like a 10 speed bicycle , most of us have gears we never use'.

This struck home for me today. I don't think many of us even come close to doing half of what we are capable of, we are not using our talents, we are fearful of our inner light and we allow the limiting beliefs of others to hold us back in every way. 

Perhaps we have gears we don't even know about - and strength, power, motivation, inner reserves of untapped energy just waiting for us to open up into these higher levels. 

Of course I am finding out more about this as I continually push my body forward to do more, exercise harder, longer, faster. As muscles and body build up, so too does mind, spirit and emotional strength and capacity. 

Yet, there is so much more to us, we are endless balls of potential energy with ideas, profound dreams, hopes and amazing magical powers. For the most part we are sleeping, we have forgotten, wandering aimlessly through our days in a brain fog caused by food and drink that has become our drug. 

And our downfall. 

You know, it really is all within - we have the resources, we are standing on this earth as incredibly powerful beings in our own right. We can't afford to back down any longer, or allow ourselves to be held back so easily. 

Today is a great day to find a way to push yourself forward, even a little bit. Opening up those inner doors which have been closed up for so long sometimes takes a little shove in the right direction.

If you think you can't do this, you have forgotten who you are

Have a wonderful, thoughtful, action filled day!

Taking Action is Easier Then Standing Still

Today is another food day, with the countdown now on for our next 10 day Master Cleanse - this August cleanse will be the fourth one in 4 months and once again not much has stayed the same. Of course, these changes are little, smaller steps along the way, adding up over time.

Looking back right now to the last 3 months, I am not in the same place that I was in - at all, and definitely not thinking along the same lines. My entire life has changed again -- however it is mostly centered around my mind and the things I believe about myself.

And for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I am fully following my dreams, pursuing my own personal goals and by doing so, my children have their mom back. I am happier, more centered and grounded, my mind is clearer and my energy is back (for the most part).

By choosing to focus entirely on the things that I want for myself and my family, I am taking leaps, jumps and steps in faith and trust every single day, what I could not have predicted was that my stress levels would be so much reduced.

All of this is a result of me (finally) waking up on more levels and realizing that dreams were not going to come true by themselves, not without me taking these final steps towards making them happen. Setting a goal is one thing, making it reality requires action and a whole lot of guts.

An entire mountain of negativity has been moved out of my way as well during these last few months and I put this down to fasting, cleansing and detoxing repeatedly during this past year and refusing to let go of this belief that all things will be better, just keep going.

My entire life is not yet to where I want it to be, but the foundations are in place and I continue to push forward with the assurance that it will be. Believing is seeing! 

Enjoy your day,

April
