Guest guest Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Take heart DEAR Annette. We are all doing our best with the tools provided at any given time. It doesnt always seem like it because We don't always understand what the soul came here to experience. I know it is a battle for some of us to stay raw. I have been the worse to myself in the past, when clearly I know what I am doing AND see the bigger picture of life to some degree. What helps is to remain detached from the " behaviour " and say to yourself " I am doing this and part of me likes it, part of me doesnt. I will feed my mind with positive information and wait to see the results of my thoughts.. " I have never found much use in will power. Observing and understanding are the way. Meanwhile; Raw Foodists are not always the healthiest and happiest people on this planet! Healthiness is a state of mind. A raw diet that consists of some fruit during the morning time, some salad and sourdough spelt bread or salad and avocado (for example) lunchtime. With steamed veg, quinnoa, millet or tahini (for example) in the early evening - can be a prosperous way to live. You can still have raw days. Whatever helps you create balance and continuity is probably best. Jumping from all raw to stodgy foods and back, beating yourself up about it and so on - is very depleting. ...Just sharing some of my own experiences. Meanwhile I am following 100% Nat Hygiene at this time - Ha! to assist my own body in self healing. We are all on a boat together, with support. This is what we are in this group for eh?
