The way I feel wanting to reach for a big burger and cup of coffee in the first pic 📸 productions
Finishing week two of the detox this week and I wanted to kick it up a notch and give up my biggest vice (coffee). There is a huge emotional component to the detox and detoxing. The liver is an organ that stores anger. I don’t see myself as an angry person but I have been quite HANGRY and I feel like a little anger was purging out of my body. We use food and drink for so much comfort. Coffee is and was like my emotional security drink. If I felt tired then I knew I had that and I enjoyed the taste and it was like a big treat everyday to look forward to. On the detox we have no processed foods so on a hard day it’s not like we can have some chocolate or gluten free pasta or even a bowl of cereal. I had quite a few emotional days this week with work difficulties and I couldn’t grab a big cup of coffee in the morning or eat my feelings. I think this is a good thing but hard. I had to feel all my feelings and be a little grumpy and emotional and find healthy ways to cope.
Coping mechanisms without food, alcohol, or coffee:
I called my emotion code practitioner
I had another IV with Heather from
Vitamins and minerals are depleted in stressful situations and detoxing is a stress on the body even though it’s good for us!
I prayed a lot and went to Bible study twice and loved every minute of it
I listened to Christian music mostly which I felt calmed my nervous system
I rested alot more so my body could do its thing. Before the detox I used to wake up an hour early for reading which I loved. I’m hungry and don’t want to be awake hungry any extra time so I’m sleeping in way more but also not reading at all 🫠 I need to find a balance with that because I miss it.
I’m exercising to boost endorphins, balance my blood sugar and move my lymph.
I’m starting to find a love for tea. Instead of grabbing a hop water, recess, hiyo, or coffee I’m trying to be as clean as possible so I’m heaving lemon balm, chai, and sleepy time tea.
Being surrounded by my buddies always helps 🫶🏻
Here’s to week three starting tomorrow 🍵
