Last night I dreamed that I went through the drive thru and ordered a sausage biscuit. In my dream, I remember having this huge debate with myself on whether I should eat it or not. The devil said, "Go ahead, it's just one biscuit!" The angel said, "But just think how sick you will feel! Why jeopardize all your progress?" The devil, "It's delicious! You need the protein!" The angel, "What about the documentary you watched on processed food? Anyway, you are getting plenty of protein!" I woke up before I made the decision. But I know, in my waking hours, I choose NO!! I am NOT going to put that stuff in my newly cleansed body! My body is now a clean slate, what I put into it is what I will get out of it! If I feed it junk, I will get junk! If I feed it life, I will get life! I CHOOSE LIFE!!!
Every morning when I wake up and every night before I fall asleep, I recite the following:
I Jim, do love me. My bodies vigor and harmony. I am perfect health, radiant beauty and divine energy. I now hold in my mind this new image of myself, as a thriving, flourishing and gloriously beautiful person.
I got that from the documentary "May I be Frank." If you haven't seen it, check it out. Here is the synopsis:
Frank Ferrante is 54, weighs 290lbs., had a lifetime of drug & alcohol abuse and as a result contracted Hepatitis-C. He's on multiple medications including anti-depressants, undergoing chemo and drinks 10 espressos a day to stay awake. One day Frank stumbles into Cafe Gratitude, a Raw food café in San Francisco, and meets Ryland, the café's manager. Ryland asks Frank, what is one thing you'd like to do before you die? Frank answers 'I want to fall in love one more time, but with a body like this, no one will love me, because i don't love myself.' Watch as Ryland, his brother Cary and best friend Conor, help Frank take on his weight, health, relationships and loving himself in just 42 days.
I guess one of the reasons that documentary was so powerful for me was because in a lot of ways I can relate to Frank. I was abusing alcohol, prescription drugs, drinking 2 pots of coffee a day and living through the drive thru. That's NOT living!!! I can honestly say that after juicing for the past 22 days, I have no desire to drink alcohol. Juicing truly reboots your system. I am so grateful!! I thank God for my healing of body and soul!! I want everyone to experience this bliss!!
Well I'm off to juice for the day!! Until next time!!
