Keeping a positive attitude

I think that keeping a positive attitude during the cleanse is imperative. Even when the going gets rough, you just have to remember that the reason for some of the bad feelings is actually a blessing in disguise. You know the old saying that it "is darkest just before the dawn"? I think it applies here for sure. The times when I have felt the worse because of detox symptoms or cravings or feeling hungry were like the dips in a roller coaster. I hung on and the next experience was the highest of highs. The days that I am full of energy, have a positive outlook and just generally in love with life and the world definitely were the days following a low day.

You have more free time on your hands on the cleanse because there is no time taken up by food preparation or long hours of eating and shopping seems a lot quicker. Why not use the extra time for yourself? Clean out closets and drawers. Give yourself a manicure and pedicure. Take long baths and give yourself a facial. Go for long walks. Meditate. Stretch. Read some really good books. Watch inspirational movies. Listen to inspirational music. Search the web for ways to make yourself a better person.

I came upon this site today. It is full of good advice and there are several fantastic articles to read on it.

Law of Attraction Principals - Ask and You Shall Get.

Supposedly your mind is much more open to visualization on the cleanse. Why not visualize your new body or your new life?
