It's Friday! May 4, 2007

Greetings Divas!

Today I want to talk about an aspect of the Detox Diet that I've not dwelled upon, however in light of my personal life experiences of late, I think the timing is right. The Diva topic of the day is STRESS! Yes, and you may wonder, what does stress have to do with weight loss?

More than you probably ever imagined.

Stress creates ACID! And here's the thing about acid (many of you have probably read this on my website)...however this is big. And this is the tidbit of info that changed my life forever: When your body is over-acidic, as most are, it will stuff excess acid into fat cells as a storage facility. Now, some acids are escorted out of the body - but Divas - most acids are stored in fat cell. Yes,it's true.

Back to stress. Given that stress creates acids it's vitally important to include relaxation, meditation, yoga, tai chi, walking, etc.... in our daily routine.

Other elements to consider:

1. Forgiveness - letting the past go. Now this may take outside resources like a therapist.

2. Practice Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) This is an powerful process of emotional release. It's likened to Accupuncture without needles. check out: http://emofree.com/a/?3540

3. Practice long deep breathing and other breathing exercises. A FREE GIFT to yourself. HIGHLY recommended.


Wishing you a stress-less day Divas!
-All my best,
Dawn
