6th Day 'Juice Cleanse': Gartitude

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

- Denis Waitley


By now, I can differentiate between 'hunger' and 'temptation' pretty clearly.

This is the story you can apply, just imagine if there are 2 rooms side by side inside of you, and you put the word HUNGRY in one room and TEMPTATION on the other side of the room...close your eyes and said which room are you in at the moment.

Your mind traveled to the tummy part and feel it if you're really and truly hungry - HUNGRY room (well, drink your juice first, avoid leaving your mouth dry and thirsty).

And this time move to another room to feel again - TEMPTATION room (in my case is my brain). If you're actually tempted to same particular food that you smell or see at that time...for me, it's sooo clear that the 'hungry' room don't say anything and the 'temptation' room roaring terribly bad.

So, is that obvious which room you are at? Think about it..

To me, there is no reason to give up just because you're too 'hungry' (you can always eat after the cleansing time, right?), you must separate the two issues here. But again, everyone is different, you will know when is the 'right time' for you.
You'll feel full once you sip the juice. My suggestion is to make yourself preoccupied with lots of activities, so that your brain does not 'play tricks' on you.
