FOOD FOR THOUGHT

- The first 3 days will determine the rest of your cleanse... those who start strong will finish strong... 



- "Variety is the spice of gluttony"; I heard that from a raw food guru awhile back, makes the point to enjoy simple and clean nutrition... 



- I'm concerned for people who feel like they need "recipes"... (boy would they be in trouble if they were ever stuck in the woods for a couple days)...



- For 10 days, the challenge is to not be entertained by food; just eat what's on the list and be OK with it (meat, veggies, fruit, nuts/seeds, oats/rice/beans)...

  

- Pretend you're a caveman/cavewoman for a period of time; eat simply and thankfully for the nourishment you're able to aquire - a piece of fruit is a beautiful thing when it's given your attention and isn't surrounded by a bunch of other stuff...



- There is something magical about sacrificing or "going without" IF you start the process strong and break through to the point of enjoying the sacrifice versus feeling like you're sacrificing...



- But I understand we have a life to live... if I have a lunch appointment at Chipotle... it's OK... I'll order a burrito in a bowl with rice, beans, chicken, pico, lettuce (maybe guacamole)... notice there is NO wheat tortilla, NO sour cream, NO cheese... you can comply with the cleanse regimen ANYWHERE with a little desire and creativity...  



- OK so if you want another fun idea then make some chilli... 

(no cheese or crackers though)...



- My most productive and inspired times often happen during a cleanse, and I hope the same for you too... let this 10 days be a jumpstart to a better you...



- One discipline typically fuels other disciplines... consider reading a new book when you start your cleanse... what discipline can you add for the next 10 days that may open doors in life that might currently be closed?...
