Day 8 - First day of Summer? Brrrr...

Hard to believe this is is the beginning of summer. Really quite chilly today and although I know better than to complain, having to scramble for socks and a long sleeve shirt near the end of June seems rather odd. Today I am focusing on water. I want my thirst to be natural and consistent. I can also tell that if I drink more that the detox and flushing will work so much better.

I am going to lunch today at my friend Bonnie's house. It's a BYOF so that works out just great for me to bring my own food with me and not have to worry or stress. I picked up a brand new lunch box at the thrift store with 2 containers in it and it is really well insulated so, carrying stuff with me will be so much easier. This is my first meal out anywhere but home for a long while and it feels strange. The one thing I have noticed with eating Raw is that once I am 100%, it is much easier to keep eating 100%. If I eat something cooked, then the cravings and temptations are way harder.

I keep in mind things that people have said about their own cravings and how to deal with them and it has helped so much.

Focus :

1. Water
2. Skin Brushing
3. Movement
4. Focus on what is important
5. Breathing deeply and releasing stress that I impose on myself.

I always want to be thankful. Gratitude leaves less room for worry and stress.

I appreciate others who are following the Raw path and lend their support with great websites and Blogs they help me so much- THANK YOU!
