Dear Detox Diary – Day 18
“Birds flyin high, you know how I feel…”
Day 18 of my Mindbody Detox and woohooo!! I’m feeling good!
Since starting my detox 18 days ago I’ve now dropped a total of three pounds (remembering that dropping 1-2 pounds a week is a healthy rate and greater chance of sustaining that drop) and I’m feeling lighter, not just in my body but also in my mind, and that’s got me so feeling good. In fact, I’m feeling so good that I want to start singing that wonderful song made famous by Nina Simone and then Michael Bublé.
Sing it with me now! And If you dare to let yourself go all out to play it and sing it here is a link to Nina Simone version of the song Feelin Good
Feelin' Good
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
, It's a new day,
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
, It's a new day,
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun
you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
and a bold world
for me, For me
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
, it's a new day,
it's a new life
It's a new dawn
, it's a new day,
it's a new life
It's a new dawn
, it's a new day,
it's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
The song was written by English composers Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the Musical ‘The Roar of The Greasepaint - the smell of the Crowd’ first performed on stage in 1964.
Just like the singer in this song, I’m feeling SO GOOD!
This 21-Day Mindbody has got me feeling so good. And even though I was down with a bad chest virus for two weeks before I started the detox I sure wasn’t feeling so good with this going on.
But we got through it all - the ‘we’ being my mind, body and spirit - and we are all feeling SO GOOD!
So with just four more whole days to go till I finish my Detox I’ve made up my mind to finish strong, to start the new year by making this first month the perfect time to get my mind and body moving in the same direction, show my appetite that it can’t just do whatever it wants, and eat and drink whatever it wants. No! I’m showing my appetite who the boss is! I’m controlling what goes into my mouth. And the reason is simply that I’m letting my body know that I love it, by treating it with loving care, to give it exactly what it needs for maximum wellness.
And as for my mind, I’m helping my mind see that it does not need to put up with negative toxic thoughts holding it hostage any longer. Through the simple short daily exercises in this mindbody detox I’ve proved over and over again for 18 days straight so far that I can choose what positive thoughts to keep, and what negative toxic thoughts that don’t serve me to eradicate these.
And because I’m doing all this by my own free will. And that’s why I’m feeling So Good!
