Day 1: Who am I...




Day 1 of
Spring Clean Your Body...


Visit our website for today's food tip about dairy.

No Meat. No Dairy. No Junk Food. No Soda

We start this journey off with a question:

Who am I?

With the beginning of spring, this is a good time to ask yourself this question. Who am I? Also, what am I doing....What do I want...What do I need?


The Spring Equinox represents equal day and equal night, new life, growth and a time of letting go of stifling behavior patterns, stifling people, negative energy and self-destructive habits.

Write down your intentions for the season and for the rest of the year. If you did this during the winter solstice look at what you wrote in December/January and decide if there is anything you want/need to follow up on.


Plant new 'seeds' or re-imagine those 'seeds' that need nurturing and tending to. 'Seeds' are thoughts, affirmations and goals. Your goals can be something as simple as "everyday I will meditate for five-minutes ,"or as grandeur as, "By the end of the year I will relocate to another state." With your intentions, write down a plan. Don't just let your intentions dangle out their in the wind, put some spunk, good vibes, discipline and dedication, behind them.


Now that we are thawing from the winter, this is a time to check in with 'self'.

Close your eyes and do a body scan. Asking each part of your body, "How are you doing?" Listen to your body, not with judgement, but with patience and love. If anything is not as you would like it then make the concerted effort to change it.

Throughout the 7-Days of Spring Cleaning Your Body check in with yourself everyday. Spend time with yourself by taking a walk, journaling, reading a book, gardening or simply sitting and staring out of the window. It is okay to tend to self, it is okay not to be rushing or always on the go. It is okay to tell the job, school, children, partner, dog, bills, "Wait, I need to take time for myself!" This isnt being lazy or irresponsible, this is being centered and being responsible for your own well-being.
These 7-Days are all about you. Do you...
