Seventeen hours into the fast and I notice a remarkable difference. Everything about me and my person has slowed down. That would make sense, of course, since my calories are limited and I am living on liquids. However, there is a change inside my head as well. I am more at peace. I am more patient. I am more willing to empathize with a grieving friend. I am quieter in my spirit. I am more resolved to see a couple of personal concerns brought to positive resolution. It is good to let the body rest. Even my jaw can rest...no chewing for a time period must feel wonderful to teeth and muscles...how refreshing!
Twenty-six hours into the fast...had a cry, walked in the cold wind for an hour, had an excellent phone conversation with a close friend, made a decision and acted on it...felt nervous but good at the same time...nervous, good, nervous, good...need to head for the bathtub...maybe need another good cry...fasting, like massage...sometimes releases pent up emotions...things that need to be let go of...including hanging on to bad food habits...
