Tips on being strong

[jucypot]

I am from Dallas, Texas but travel all over the world. I am starting a 7 day cleansing fast (water/lemon juice/cayenne pepper/maple syrup). I would like some advice on how to remain focused, disciplined, and strong during this fast.
I am scared!! H E L P .

I am on day 18 of a raw juice feast, and I think it is a matter of a "just do it" frame of mind. I remind myself that I am cleansing and purifying my body, healing is preferable to what I have done to my body in the past. You also have to keep reminding yourself why you decided to do this, and is it still important to you? The other thing that helps me is to reassure myself that I can have that salad, or smoothie or whatever it is, again. It's not as if you are never going to get the opportunity to eat again! Good luck to you and I hope you accomplish what you set out to do.
