Get yourself a journal

It is very common during a fast that you will begin to unravel emotions that you didn’t even know existed. You may start to cry, you may begin to feel anxious and you may even feel emotional swings which are very concerning. However, it is important to understand that this is normal.

When you fast you are not only detoxing your body but also detoxing your mind. There could be a physical aspect involved where the drugs and pharmaceuticals you have been taking previously are now being released from the fat cells or it could be mental where you are getting in touch with your spiritual and emotional side now that food is not in the way. Whatever it is, just go with it, allow those feelings to pass and it will get better, with you most likely feeling more alive and refreshed at the end of it.

These strong emotional swings will vary from person to person and can also vary in intensity. In some people it may not happen at all. However, if the emotions become too strong be prepared to end the fast.

I like to get myself a journal to record my whole fasting experience so that I can monitor these feelings and possibly resolve some long hidden issues. Review these feelings at the end of the fast and you may even get a message out of it.

Prepare yourself to meditate

When you are fasting you may find that you are able to get into a meditative state a lot quicker and you will experience a level of clarity and awareness that you have never experienced before. When your body is no longer having to focus on digestion, it is able to experience the higher meditative states a lot easier.

If you are not yet meditating, during the fast is the ideal time to start. Not only will you find it easier to clear the mind and focus on the one act of meditation, but you will also have the extra time in the day to do it.
