This Week's InspirationFasting Is Not Just For Food!
Fasting Is Not Just For Food! Do you ever feel overwhelmed by life and all that needs to get done? Most people have experienced stress related to feeling inundated by information, responsibilities, or just life in general. Well, help is at hand. What is it? The process of fasting. We human beings can be creatures of habit and/or addiction. If they aren’t purged on a regular basis, habits and addictions can become burdens—not benefits—to our lives. You may be feeling overwhelmed because of the choices you have made—and society will continue to add to your obligations, if you let it. Input from so many sources and the tasks that go with being a parent, partner, employee, volunteer can swamp even the most organized individual. That’s where fasting comes into play. Food fasting has been used for centuries to cleanse the system of toxins and give the body a break from the constant demands of having to process food. Research has confirmed there are as many psychological benefits to fasting as there are physical benefits. Recently, during my own food fast, my research into the fasting process revealed evidence that fasting can restore control. If you fast successfully, you prove to yourself you can implement self-control over food; it no longer has control over you. You make the choice to change. I fasted from food for two reasons:
Food is not the only fixation that can be the focus of a fast. One of our consultants was working with a university student who was failing her grades. After a review of her schedule and her life, there was no question she was overwhelmed. As a result, her studies were suffering. Her life was so noisy that she had no peace. The consultant counseled her to fast from all unnecessary input, including some favorite activities. Here is her list of changes.
In just 2 weeks, this young woman went from frazzled to calm and peaceful. It was challenging at first, but she was counteracting an addiction. That’s our point. If you can’t stop checking your email every 3 seconds or Facebooking for hours a day, you are addicted. Those activities can contribute to stress-related illness and cause people to feel overloaded. Whatever you can’t quit or reduce has control over you, not the other way around. If you don’t think you can get rid of the actions that are controlling you, you likely are hooked. It’s time to fast. Fasting can be an easy and effective solution. BlackBerry® users got the nickname CrackBerrys because they became so addicted to their phones. This obsession was so ramped, the Canadian government even implemented a policy that banned employees from using BlackBerrys on the weekend. My kids keep pestering me to put email on my iPhone but I refuse.
