What I said yesterday about getting through the first days of the cleanse better than last time. Strike that. Last night I was hit with the full catastrophe of whatever it is I'm putting in my body that's not good. I'm not really a sugar addict, so it must be caffeine and gluten. But something has been building up a lot of stuff and I felt it deeply in my joints. This morning I feel it in my stomach.
The strategy today. Drink as much water as I possibly can. Tai Chi, stretching anything to get the joints to loosen up. Eat a lot of greens.
And be gentle with myself. Really be with this suffering. It may not feel like an opportunity to deepen my awareness and compassion, but it is.
