:eek: i know the benefits of juicing and raw food... but seem to have lost myself and have been having trouble getting back what i had. :confused:

i am hoping to see a significant difference by juicing and green smoothies with lots of spinach, parsley, celery, beet etc...
and what i truly need is a lift.. to get that happy go lucky feeling back!!

what i picked up was == spinach, parsley, tomatoes, celery, ginger, sweet potatos, beets, cabbage, pears, avocado, banana, carrots, cucumbers, squash, sesame and sunflower seeds, lentils.....oh and raisens!!

i am just hoping to see a DIFFERENCE in my mental well being.....
sometimes.. you just feel like you are going thru such a funk!! and especially now..... i need a JOLT, something significant!!

last year.. i was introducing raw food to my diet.... green smoothies and juicing, which i was totally into!! felt great.... BUT NOW...
i feel as if i have just fell apart.. literally!!
most of how i feel, i know is just situational....... due to having a recent injury, which is taking way too long to heal (3 month now....) Needless to say, stuck in house, unhappy, feeling lost, self worth is down, cry a lot... etc..
it's like PMS symtoms 24/7!! we all can relate to that...... and it stinks! ugh!!

anyway..... i don't mean to sound so dramatic..
i am just planning on working on juicing to hopefully get some of myself back and see the motivation, energy and mental clarity i once had! :)

Feel better soon!
Definitely get lots of green juices in you. My favorite green juice EVER is 1 head of rommaine, 3 carrots, and a 1 inch hunk of ginger.

Remember that your mental/emotional health is as important (if not more so than) your physical health. Keep your mind occupied with books, movies, talking on the phone, etch. Keep your spirit satisfied by getting creative making things or through reading spiritual books.

You can do it! I'm sure you'll be out of this slump in no time.
