Taking the plunge

So you are taking the plunge. You have set your intentions for the next four weeks and now ready to delve in. So let's begin by talking about the cycle of the month and its impact on diet.

We are coming up to the beginning of the cycle beginning on June 21st when the Astrological sign of Cancer will begin. Cancer is a water sign - which means that everything will revolve around our emotions. So how does that impact diet?

Well, the first thing that pops into your mind is right on target. Cleansing and drinking more water come to the forefront as topics such as why am I an emotional eater.

The types of food that you will find that you will be drawn to are from the ocean - so watch that you will be eating lots of fish, sushi if you like that, balancing salt levels in your food so that you don't have water retention.

Our challenges of the month is that you may find yourself really on track and sometimes really off track in your diet. One second you are eating light and another time you want lots of sugar! Lots of sweet things. This is not uncommon. Just as the water ebbs and flows, you may find that you do too in your diet. So you really have to have a committment be strong and really want it bad, because otherwise you may be faced with resistance and not know why. 

Ultimately when you take on any challenge it is to learn something about yourself. What you think you are learning and what actually shows up may surprise you. However, to gain access to your subconcious thinking that is driving your actions, you must be willing to look beyond the surface of what you are doing, see the patterns, make choices and then in the end you will see something really profound and enlightening about yourself.  Are you up for the challenge? This month is all about learning how to bring out your inner child, to master your creativity, go with the flow and become aware of how your emotions impact your food choices. This is not just about diet - it is a holsitic journey that inspires a spiritual experience. It is going to be a fun ride!

So how do I know all of this information? I study the cycles and how they impact every area of our life. This blog is designed to bring that level of awareness to you each and every day on your four week journey. Every day I will blog and encourage you to do so as well. We want to hear how you are progressing each day. You never know, what you say to others can greatly impact their life, because they may be in the same boat. If you dont know what to say just start with that it will get you into the flow we want to know everything, because part of the journey is to simply express yourself. So let's get started!
