Before I begin this blog entry, I would like to point out that I have made two separate Amazon wish lists on my sidebar: one for Little Kids Rock (whom I will donate 100% of the instruments on that list to) and my own personal list. I’ll be adding items to it until December 1st.

Helping Steve Out

I was reading Steve Pavlina’s blog today and he seemed depressed about his juice feasting experiment.

When he debated on quitting the experiment, I told him this in his forums:

I think that you should continue with the juice feast.

You’ve already established a deadline (69 more days) and I feel that if you were to stray from that, you would become more inclined to do so with your future endeavours.

If you feel disconnected from your family during meals, why don’t you drink with them? Just pour yourself a small glass if you’re not that hungry. Before the juice feast, you were the only one in your household who ate 100% raw vegan while the others eat mostly cooked vegan and you were still able to connect with them at the dinner table. Have them try out some of the juices if they want to, so they can better connect with what you’re doing.

I’m glad that you’re honest in sharing the disconnection you feel with your family. However, I believe that simply calling it quits now would not be in your best interests. I feel that you should instead find ways that you can connect with your family (like I said above). Take a drive, go for a walk (I dunno how cold it is this time of year in Nevada), play board games. Sometimes the simplest things can bring us together the closest.

If you were to quit the juice feast before the 92 days were up, your Power would become weaker because you didn’t discipline yourself to go the full distance. You think that eating solid foods again with your family would be like hitting the reset button. You are denying the Truth, which is that you can always connect with anyone and are always able to accept Love.

Of course, after the 69 days are over and you feel that you didn’t get the results that you were after, nobody’s gonna force you to do it again but yourself. Also keep in mind that you were pretty healthy to begin with due to eating 100% raw, so I wasn’t that surprised when you weren’t losing a lot of weight.

Hang in there, Steve! I know you can do it!

Steve then posted a response:

Just checked the poll results, and it’s 11 for and 11 against. 11-11 rears its head again, but what does it mean?

I’ve been getting some email feedback on this too, and the results there are split about 50-50 as well.

I should mention that it will take me 6 days to progressively break the juice feast, regardless of whether I stop now or at Day 92. This is to ease my body back into solid foods and avoid getting sick from an abrupt transition.

I should also mention that I can do the liver and parasite cleanses after a juice feast if necessary. They can be done at other times. They might be more effective as part of a juice feast though.

My default decision is that I’m going to keep going unless I gain sufficient clarity to say that stopping is really the best choice for me. If I continue to feel ambivalent like I do now, I’ll keep pressing on.

I really appreciate all the feedback. It certainly gives me a lot of angles to consider.

I’m so glad that he’s continuing the experiment! I wish Steve the best of luck in making it the full 92 days without solid food.

P.S: My new guitar should be coming in soon. Financially, I regret buying it. However, it felt so right when I put in my bids. Because I’m running out of money in my saving account, I might have to get a job soon. Oh boy…
