Week 3 was much better! Again, I began the week with a 24 hour fast. I began stretching every morning as well and made sure to take my supplements and bee pollen. I was very busy this week in school and in other areas of my life. I had to make sure to find time to take care of myself in the process.
I began posting a quote of the day on my Facebook page. This helped keep my Spirit fed and gave me the beneficial task of finding a quote that fit my state of mind and my new attitude. I began dry-brushing this last week as well. This is exactly what it sounds like. Before my morning showers, I would take a dry natural bathing brush and brush my skin in a circular motion over my entire body. According to Drybrushing.net :
This technique not only promotes healthier skin by removing dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, but also by stimulating and increasing skin cell production, giving your skin a healthy glow all year long. But the benefits are not just skin deep – dry brushing both increases blood flow and circulation and enhances detoxification through the skin. It is also said that the gentle pressure and brushing sensations have a calming effect – just like a massage! But be aware that the increase in blood circulation will also give you that “awake” feeling, so a dry brushing session before bed might not be so convenient.
You can visit the site and see the other benefits of dry-brushing. It made an enormous difference in my skin. My face seemed to glow and even the cellulite on my thighs seemed to be decreased! How's that for a good excuse to try it!!??
Since I had gotten used to fasting on Mondays, I added an extra day to my cleanse so that I could fast. It was a pretty smooth week after coming up with solutions to many of my problems during week 2. All in all, I felt amazing, I lost 6 pounds, I felt light and healthier, and I was extremely proud of myself! Thank you all who were interested and supportive of my journey. I plan on keeping up a newer, healthier lifestyle. I also plan on sharing as much of it as I can with my blog readers. So stay tuned! Until next time readers!
In Beauty and Love Always
