As someone who is constantly doing research on health I will be the first one to tell you that learning about decreasing toxicity can be very scary. It’s very scary sometimes learning what is in our food, water, environment and medications. In fact, sometimes it can be downright overwhelming. This is when we may start creating the excuses to stay in our comfort zones.
One thing that I admire about the doctor that I had in San Diego, is his promise to himself that he would do what he had to not to be in denial about anything. He would force himself to look at facts and to look at himself objectively and go from there. It is hard to accept the truth sometimes, especially when the truth is overwhelming. Sometimes you may need some time to absorb the information that you’ve received before you act on it. To avoid procrastination, don’t take more than three days to act. During those three days, find a support system. Hopefully there are friends and loved ones who can support you. If not, there is always this site. Go to the “Rants” forum and talk about what you’ve learned and how you are overwhelmed and ask for help.
Once you’ve accepted what you have learned and the journey it will take to get there, you are ready to begin your new journey toward a life low in toxins. You’re ready to figure out how to get that whole house filter; you’re ready to read ingredients and leave the toxic stuff on the shelves; you’re ready to decrease your garbage by recycling and composting and you’re ready to get second opinions to be sure that medication is the best way to treat your illnesses. Once you create a routine of your new habits it will become second nature, as though you’ve done it your entire life.
