This is one of the first posters I ever made when I got on this kick to help other people get healthy after I finally did.
This is the "before" picture of when you are inflamed and feeling sick and not helping yourself. Study this and see if anything resonates with you. This is how I used to feel all the time.
This Inflammation Reduction Project has two goals:
- Get rid of 10% of your incoming toxin load
- Add 10% “Better Stuff” to your life.
And then after that?
- Continue
- Persist
That’s it! 10% by 10% - we are going to get there – to a healthier place for you and your family.
Go easy on yourself, but go! Start making any small changes you can and see how it works for you.
I gave you a list of places to look for toxins in my last post – you should read it again to get centered about what we are doing here and to refresh your resolve to improve. This is not hard as we move through it.
Here are some ways to get started down the path of inflammation reduction.
Take “before” photos of you and your family this week.
- Full frontal
- Full side view
- Close up face
- Facial profile.
You cannot see it now, but in a few weeks you will dramatically see the improvement in progress pics. Plan to take some again in a month – and every month!
I belong to some groups for natural ideas and they often suggest this photo idea. This will be very motivating as we going through time and you watch the improvement happen.
Talk to your family
- Are they on board with this idea?
- What do they think could change easily?
Start a simple journal
- List bad stuff you think should go
- List good stuff you think should come in
No pressure! Just think about it. The bad stuff might not be as bad as you think and there might be easy substitutes. Please tell me what you've got in the comments below.
Look at what you have on hand
- Food
- Beauty
- Cleaning
- Household
- Hobbies
Review and see what you can easily improve. What's going to be harder?
A good, quick, easy way to judge!
Look at the ingredients on the label of anything. Are the words there words you know? Or are the words chemical formulas you have never heard of? Hmm...
Your goal over time is to reduce the stuff that inflames you. Some things inflame everyone and some things only bother sensitive people.
So do these little check ups and let me know how it’s going in the comments. I’m going to be posting about this frequently for the next weeks and months as I really need to improve for myself. You are coming along for the ride I hope!
