Last Thursday marked my final class for which I successfully completed the Green Yogi challenge. Although it continues on until February 8th, I have finished (early)! These past three weeks tested me mentally and physically. On the first day of the challenge I set my intentions for focus and strength. Since then, my mental focus has rewarded my physical strength.
The first of the month I also started a cleanse to begin the fresh New Year. I utilized my focus from the yoga challenge to continue cleansing for the rest of the month. It has been 28 days of no refined sugar, dairy, processed foods, or alcohol with only two more days to go!
This challenge has created a new lifestyle for me.
Don’t get me wrong; I have certainly wanted a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate during this time and have every intention of rewarding myself with nothing less this weekend! However, I can fully appreciate the value of these “treats” knowing they were deserved. Friday, I will have a Margarita in hand to celebrate my victorious year thus far :)
If I have learned one thing from this challenge, it is the power of our will.
“Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment; full effort is full victory.” - Mahatma Gandhi
