This morning I thought I am bothering you with to much information about my fasting. But on the other hand, providing only half of the information will be inconsequential. Anyway to day is the last post about fasting tips and suggestions.

From tomorrow on I only will post the following 7 points with answers. As soon as I stop fasting and go into the part of „change back to normal food“ I will post again and inform you how to do that and what to pay attention to.

My opinion.

Today was a nice quiet day. The beach walk was different as normal, because I cut a toe on a piece of sea shell.  Walking back through the water and sand was a bit painful, but I guess it cleaned directly out all nicely. No, not nice, tomorrow I have to wear runners.

Another discomfort today I had, was that I did not like any of my liquids. Teas taste horrible, broth no good and the water like out of a dump. Solution , I sucked a peppermint candy. That cleaned out the mouth and even the water tasted well after it.

During my relaxing phases I watched a bit the inauguration of Donald Trump.  I also saw the fireworks last night – amazing ! Today all together a very nice show, lets wait and give him a chance. After 100 days we all can decide of this new President of the US is for the good or the better. With fasting, one will gain the patience we all need.

The Five Principles of Fasting.

1. During fasting days absolutely NOTHING to eat, just drink:  5 to 10 days liquid only. Drink unsweetened tea, vegetable broth, fruit or vegetable juices and, of course, water, more than thirst.

2. Omit what is not necessary for life: Omit everything that is a dear habit, but which harms the body during the fasting period, such as nicotine and alcohol in any form, sweets and coffee, medicines – as far as dispensable – in any case drainage tablets, appetite suppressants and laxatives !! You won’t need it.

3. Get rid of everyday life: Step a time out of professional and family life bindings. Away from appointments, calendar and telephone. Renouncement of magazines, radio and TV. Instead of over-stimulation from the outside encounter with yourself. Instead of outside control, leave all to the internal control, to perceive your inner voice and be guided by it.

4. Behave naturally: That means, to do all that is good for the body, according to what the body requires. The exhausted should sleep, the one who loves moving around should move, exercise, swimming, doing what is fun – strolling, reading, dancing, enjoying music, meditating, hobbies, whatever.

5. Promote excretion: Regularly emptying the bowel, rinse the kidneys, sweat, exhale and take care of your skin and mucous membranes.

A few thoughts.

I have resolved to fast; I know I can do it !!

The everyday turmoil is behind me !!

I finally have time for myself, here I am safe, here I feel good !!

All I need is there, a warm home, juices, water – and the good filled pantry in myself. There is no reason to be afraid !!

I am curious about where the trip is going to. I have voluntarily decided to do so and I am full of confidence that it will be a good trip. Nature leads me, I can rely on !!

Stay tuned to my fasting adventure. THANKS for your interest and patience.
