Decreasing Toxicity

Eliminating toxins from your life can be difficult, in fact, eliminating them completely is impossible (because there are toxins in the very air that we breathe and there are some in our bodies that will never go away completely).  The goal here is to eliminate some toxins and to decrease others to a bare minimum.  It took me years to decrease the toxicity in my environment and body and I’m still in the process of decreasing more.  Healthy living is a step by step journey that never ends.  The first step is openness; the second is education and the third is acceptance.  I want to focus on these first three steps because more often than not, the first and third step is where many get stuck before they slide back into old habits.  This is why people who are passionate about their health are often people who were once sick.  Even if the first and third step in the lives of people like us was an issue, there came a point where we abruptly stopped taking issue to it.  The desire to learn how to heal induced an openness to the education and when we saw that the new lifestyle was working, we very quickly accepted the new lifestyle.  Some of us went on to be desirous to learn more.

In the next couple of posts we will discuss the steps in more detail.  Once the first three steps are achieved you’ve found yourself over some of the biggest humps in your journey.  It is in the first three steps where you will meet the most resistance.  When you are taking those first few steps that is when you will be tested because any fear that you have of being outside your safety zone will be amplified within that time.  So the question is, how to get beyond that resistance?
