Detox. It's More Than Just Physical!

#GoRaw day # 114..
When you go raw you expect a detox. But generally people talk about the physical aspects of detox such as flu-like symptoms. Emotional detox isn't expected, really.

But that's what's happening.

Lately my irritability has been building. Unsure for how long but at least a week. The past 2 days I wake up to an alarm of soft music as if it was heavy metal screaming at me. Everything bothers me more than normal. Sounds, people, drivers, too much talking, too much to do, things not working out... I want to scream. Frequently, each day.

I used to have panic attacks daily until I found yoga. It's been a long time since my last one... until today. If you've ever had a full-blown panic attack you know they aren't fun.

I was thinking that it was so strange since I'm fully raw and taking other things to support my liver (spinach, greens powder, tummeric, green tea etc) and yet I'm a nervous wreck and emotional basket case. What the....?? And then it hit me.... when you detox you get worse before better. I messaged a friend who has been raw for way longer than me and she confirmed it. There are more levels than just a physical detox.

What a relief. I am not crazy and it will eventually get better as I heal on all levels... physical and emotional. Whew. I can't wait to be at the end of this tunnel!! 

Moving forward, I will continue to take the liver supporting/cleansing foods/herbs (a toxic liver can cause emotional troubles) because I want to be the best self I can be. I will try to remember to meditate more often, do less and avoid people whenever possible. Shouldn't be too hard in December, right? Wish me luck on that one. ;-)

    Hey Kim, guess we all remove the physical from the emotional but as the traditional teachings show, we are all one. Happy to hear you have found the answers and can now relax (ha!) into the cleanse and healing.

    On the off chance that you are constantly sick then it's best to get the direction of a wellbeing specialist, specialist or naturopath who is proficient and experienced in detox. Something else that you have to remember is that purifying can get to be distinctly addictive. https://detoxofsouthflorida.com/why-choose-detox-of-south-florida/

    Finding an opportunity to JOIN a rec center, it doesn't mind really work out at one can be troublesome and require a level of duty that some are either unwilling or not able to make.

    This is very true when we look at the metabolic processes that are inherent in a naturally developed state of being. Think back to some of the ancient historically based films that you have come across. https://bit.ly/2Jh5gd6

Warning: Brainstorming May Lead To Great Ideas

"Maybe it's time to get a job?" they ask.  Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it isn't.  After deciding that I wanted my own income and more independence, and after either being in school, caring for our family and sanctuary for 13 years and/or having a business that eventually closed,  I decided that I needed a change. First step was the huge decision, because it means a huge chunk of time away from my family and home. The next step was getting help to update my resume. Then, the job search. But, after 3 months of steps 2 and 3 and dozens of resumes including signing up with a local job placement company, the results were discouraging. No interviews. Nothing. Then, on a regular visit to my friend's awesome spa (Bliss day Spa in Trenton) and some great conversation with my friend, Tina, a suggestion snowballed in my head.  "What about cleaning?" At first, it was "meh, I don't know..." but then it started to feel different.

Hello friends! I have a few things in the works and am excited to tell about them!  First, I have a new photo for my Products from Mindful Kim Facebook page, this blog and it might even go in a few new places... ... like maybe a new Patreon page! I'm also thinking of either changing an old YouTube channel or starting a brand new one, for professional content only. As well as my Facebook groups, like Our Minimalist Lifestyle.  I need to get more organized and consistent.  Any tips on YouTube or Patreon would be appreciated! Either on OML, one of my FB pages or via email MindfullyCleanKim [at] @gmail.com  Thanks! 🥰🙏🏻

Guest Post! || Suicide: Warning Signs, Risk Factors, And Prevention by Melissa Howard

I first received an email from Melissa Howard in January, 2018.  She wrote, "...I'm  on a mission to prevent suicide with my website, stopsuicide.info ". Mental health affects likely everyone in one way or another, so I was intrigued.  I had planned to do a few posts about mental health myself so Melissa's email seemed like perfect timing.  She is writing a book on emotional wellness and fitness and her website, stopsuicide.info, contains articles on handling suicidal thoughts and recovery from suicide attempts.  Please visit her site if you have been having these thoughts or pass this post along if you think it may help someone.  Or even share on social media.. you never know who it might reach!
