PUBLISHER'SLETTER D
o you know how many toxins, chemicals and bacteria we are exposed to on a daily basis? The human body is an amazing machine that fi ghts off intruders and cleans
up and detoxifi es itself every day. Because there are so many toxins that we are exposed to that we have no control over, it be- comes imperative that we make every effort to protect ourselves in terms of what we do have control over – what we eat, drink, put on our body and more. Detoxing your life means looking at every aspect of your life and cleaning it up. That includes diet,
exercise, relationships, fi nances, spirituality, and work. If we are involved with people or things that don’t serve us in some areas of our life, that clutter or negativity will eventually fi lter into other healthy areas of our life and bring them down.
Detoxing on a physical level involves cleaning up our diet, exercising on a regu- lar basis and making an effort to reduce the toxins we are exposed to in our personal care products. When you get a chance, take a look at the labels of your personal care products, you will be shocked to fi nd that almost all of them (unless you are already using toxic-free) contain many toxic ingredients. Detoxing your life in other areas such as relationships, fi nances, spirituality and work simply requires you to check in with how you are feeling in each area. Are you involved with people that are causing you major stress? Do you have a large amount of debt or is your fi nancial life unor- ganized? Do you have a hard time meditating or taking time for yourself for spiritual pursuits? Have you lost your passion for your career or job? These are just a few of the questions you should be asking yourself to determine if you need to detox other areas of your life.
Our thought processes are another area that often needs a “detox!” Sometimes
we do not even realize that we are spending most of our time in thinking nega- tively because we are so used to saying the same things to ourselves over and over. However, if we check in with how we’re feeling (happy, joyful, excited vs. sad, angry or depressed) we know immediately whether we’re in a positive or negative thought process. I read a wonderful book by Steve Sisgold entitled, “What’s Your Body Telling You”. He has a simple technique that he teaches called the self-evident truth (SET), in which you place your full attention on your physical and emotional body and pick up feelings and sensations that you may not have been aware of before. You’ll notice any tension or strain in your body, any uneasiness in any part of your body and what your breathing is like. This is a great way to determine how you are feeling at any time of day.
As spring is around the corner, this is a perfect time to examine all aspects of
your life and determine what needs some good, old fashioned spring cleaning. Out with the old and in with the new, it’s the only way to make room for all of the new abundance that is just waiting to come into your life!
