Fasting from Negative thoughts and Actions

[Aleesha Sattva]

As a raw foodist... I find that my ability to be around negative people, tv, media etc is getting more and more difficult for me. I just don't like the vibration of those situations.

So... I'm fasting from negative thoughts and actions for 40 days. I started yesterday and thought perhaps some of you may want to join me.

I've put this in the fasting section because you can fast from anything you choose and in this moment... with my fast from solids (doing a juice fast)... I am also choosing to fast from negativity.

namaste'

I did really well today. I had a couple of customers at work who were a little difficult but I kept my thoughts and actions totally 'light'... so I'm very pleased with myself!

[GoodCat]

I am with you!! I too want to be a light and not a downer. I have so much to be thankful for and I want to show it.

So I'm in...

Cathy :D

I would like to do a lifetime fast from negativity!! :D
I believe we are free from it and it's up to us to say, "Yep, I'm free from the negativity!" It just a matter of claiming it for yourself and the manifestation from that claim will happen!!! I'm with ya on this and gonna do this for life!! :)

[Aleesha Sattva]

It is a challenge Whoa, that's for sure, at least it was today. I was surrounded by negative comments all day long and although I didn't achieve it every moment... I did my very best to stay positive.

I feel amazing... just amazing.

During this type of fasting I try and remember to ritually wash my eyes, ears and mouth, and head and face with purpose during a shower, to signify cleansing impure thoughts and speech that I either had, spoke, or heard that day, and as preparation for displaying a joyful countenance to others. Of course theres the cleansing the detoxification thing going on, but the spiritual side needs a little rub-a-dub too.

It is a challenge, that's for sure!! Yesterday was a little tough for me too.

This is great idea! A couple days ago, a few of my thoughts kept trying to be negative! I was just like, "Geesh, I really need to think of what I can think of that is positive to replace those thoughts! So that I can quit those negative thoughts!"

I had to clean out the oven yesterday and it was a big toughie!! Couldn't get the grease off from my SAD days of cooking!! I'm so glad I don't cook anymore!! I had to really be patience with this one and just get it clean!! I moved to a new place recently and just cleaning up the other place for a walk through to get a confirmation that everything looks good!

So my thought for yesterday, "Appreciate everything I've got and be thankful no matter what!! And not be so caught up in whatever so that I can be able to appreciate anything special that comes along my way!" That really lightened up my mood for the day! Thank goodness that oven is clean and never have to clean another one again!!! :)

We had some crazy things happening around here too yesterday. I felt that heaviness want to come on me. But I'm so thankful that I kept telling myself that I am an overcomer and I do not need to let these things worry/bother me!

Today as I sit here I'm thinking of that song.... Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day!! I'm so thankful for the beautifulness (is that a word) all around me!!

And thank you street and whoa .. those are good reminders.. to spiritually wash my self and to realize its for life!

Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

I agree... thanks so much all of you. (((hugs)))

[GoodCat]

I'm not sure if its because I'm really wanting to not be negative or what, but I do seem to be enjoying my surroundings so much more!! Even now, theres a thunder storm coming after a really hot day. Its so breezing and beautiful. I can't wait until the rain comes and then to smell that fresh scent of rain!!

I'm even making time to read and pray with my children to help teach them to be more aware of our attitudes and how we react to things.

Peace!
Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

I love how what we do affects those around us!

[GoodCat]

Today is our Sabbath and I'm feeling rejoiceful! So my word for today is...

Rejoice!! Rejoice!!

Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

I think my fav part of this fast is that I'm becoming very aware of my negative thoughts and more aware of others as well.

;)

[GoodCat]

That is soooo true for me too. Its been challenging, but one I'm hopeful will bring about good change.

Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

well awareness is step one in changing anything... so i'm very pleased about this for myself!

[GoodCat]

I'm peaceful again. Its been a nice weekend. I have my moments when I have to remind myself what is important and then I move on.

I love my life!

Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

I'm very peace-filled in this moment. This weekend has been filled with gifts so far... I look forward to more wonderful gifts in every moment. ahhhhh bliss!

[GoodCat]

Good Morning..

It seems like almost everything I've been reading the last few days is talking about our thoughts. How important it is the have good/healing/happy thoughts. How our thoughts will effect our moods/health/and happiness.

I know it all makes sence. But its not just thinking happy thoughts, its believing in them also.

Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

If you say anything enough... you begin to believe it!

[Conscious Midwife]

I'll join you!
Such an affirming an life giving fast.
Thanks for the invite!

[Aleesha Sattva]

(((huggin YOU)))

[GoodCat]

Hows everyone been doing??

I have really been more mindful of my attitude and I'm liking the results. It seems like everyday I choices to make. Sometimes I choose wisely and sometimes I don't, but I'm still aware and want to change, so that is good.

in light,
Cathy :D

[Aleesha Sattva]

I'm the same. Sometimes I choose to be more positive and other times I am comfy with my choice to not be.

But otherwise, it's going well.

[Conscious Midwife]

Yesterday a breeze!

Today I caught myself eye rolling and naggin' hubby regarding his driving. Apologized within an hour and kept things moving on a positive note.

Thinking happy thoughts and feeling the urge to update myvison book/ board.

I noticed that I stopped doing positive mirror work for awhile and started doing it again a few days ago. Huge difference. It's a good habit of whenever you look in the mirror, you think something positive about yourself instead of negative. I know that whenever I've looked in the mirror in the past, usually have a tendency to find something negative about myself without even realizing it!! Well, caught myself doing it again, so back to the positive whenever I look in the mirror!!! ;)

[GoodCat]

It is amazing how we need to keep reminding ourselves that we are wonderfully and fearfully made! We are beautiful and there is good all around us if we look.

I love my life :D

Cathy

[Aleesha Sattva]

Whoa... thanks for that! I've noticed that since my daughter (11) went raw... she LOVES herself in every mirror she gets near! And it shows... she glows all the time now!

[RawHealthyBeauty]

GoodCat, that is so cool the way you chose to perceive it whenever we do look. I will definitely remember that one!! :cool:

Aleesha, sooo neat that she loves what raw food has done for her!!!! Reflecting with love is a wonderful thing to do!!!! :)
