Can't believe I'm almost there. It has been an incredible journey. As Travis promised, I am finishing happier, healthier, fitter and more flexible than I have ever been. I can't believe that after 10 years I am finally off the bodybuilding supplements and not feeling cruddy, not feeling sad, not feeling like I need them for focus, not feeling I need them for athletic performance. I forgot what it felt like to feel so great so naturally. I forgot how good you can feel just by taking a breath.
And guess what?
I'm even baking in 10-15 minutes daily for meditation and realizing that it really fuels and energizes me throughout the day.
My wife is so annoyed with me because I'm stopping to observe the trees, flowers, birds, really all the things that I normally would not care to notice.
I've also been taking a class through Coursera on Buddhism and Modern Psychology as well as reading some great books. I highly recommend the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga by Deepak Chopra for anyone who wants to explore the more spiritual side of yoga. I keep them as calendar invites for myself now so I have some wisdom to guide me through each day.
I'm actually looking forward to the juice feast even though I know it will be a challenge.
Of course I still have my weaknesses. I still get upset, sad, angry, pervy, bored, etc. just like anyone else, but I am better able to accept those things and better able to either control them or revert to a happier norm.
Grateful for this journey and now just wondering what I do once I complete the 108 days.
