The brochure for the cleanse states on day 3, "Toxic symptoms subside. You begin to feel more energetic, and your body is adjusting to the extra fiber and water. You may still have food cravings, but they are much milder."

I'm hoping that this is true for all of you today! It seems like as our energy gets a boost and we're excited about the changes taking place that it would be a good time to look at some new habits we can begin forming during this cleanse that will support our body's cleansing processes throughout the year.

• Gentle stretching, walking, and other lymphatic stimulating movement
• Dry skin brushing for lymphatic drainage
• Real salts (Himalayan or Real salt) on foods, and a pinch in drinking water to add minerals. It only takes a little, and this helps balance electrolytes as well as provide trace minerals for your body. Many people don't realize that their body is desperate for wholesome sodium.
• Regular consumption of NingXia Red. I will be giving you lots of good reasons to keep up the red stuff in tomorrow's email!
• Detox baths with Epsom Salts. There are variations of this bath with ginger to promote sweating, with bentonite clay, and with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. I will say that I do not encourage using baking soda unless it is specifically aluminum free. Many people wait until they are ill or have a reaction to take a detox bath, but it is a great habit to take them weekly!
• Emotional Clearing. I suggest the books Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, The Healing Code, Aroma Freedom Technique, and also Emotional Freedom Technique.
• Journaling. There are a lot of reasons to journal for personal growth. This could be prayer journaling, writing about your goals and the growth and failures you experience along the way, writing down the profound and humorous things your children say, or just putting your thoughts to paper so that you can sort through your own thought processes efficiently. Over time this greatly helps in identifying our mindsets, whether they are beneficial or need to change in some way. Consider journaling some of what you've experienced on the cleanse as a starting place.
• Oil pulling! This is hugely beneficial for your oral health, but incredibly it will actually promote cleansing throughout your entire system. This makes a wonderful daily habit for everything from detoxing heavy metals to remineralizing your teeth.

I encourage you to choose a couple of these things to implement in your regular routine. Make a habit of caring for your body.
