I have a book on Ayurveda that I was reading last night to help my momentum of heeding the body's call. For a chuckle and a little inspiration, check ya-self:
Suggestions for a creative, healthy life
Routine
- Awaken before sunrise
- Evacuate bowels and bladder after awakening
- Bathe every day to create a sense of bodily freshness
- Twelve pranayamas in the morning or evening create freshness of mind and body
- Do not take breakfast after 8:00am
- Wash hands before and after eating
- Brush teeth after meals
- Fifteen minutes after meals take a short walk
- Eat in silence with awareness of food
- Eat slowly
- Each day massage the gums with the finger and sesame oil
- Fast one day a week to help reduce toxins in the body
- Sleep before 10:00pm

Oooo, yes!
Echoing your prayer and intention. I can feel that override vs. Body wisdom wrestling myself. Thanks for the reminder and virtual companionship.

OK, way to many rules or guidelines or suggestions for me.
I love those ayurveda tips. I gave up coffee 13 years ago. It took me a little over a year to finally lose my craving for it. Now, once or twice a year I will get a craving but I can never get past more than two or three sips before I can't drink any more. My body now thinks it's a strange foreign toxic thing and rejects it. I love your blog!
