Steps to Freedom Week: Getting Enough Water?

This week we are looking at the Steps to Freedom. Don't get overwhelmed. Follow The Daily Healing Journal and it will all be done for you.

The first few steps are all about healing your body. If your body is not strong, how can you expect your mind to be? It all works together. Remember this is all about getting you in the best shape physically & mentally. The more you put in, the more you get out.





Water

Did you know the benefits
of drinking water are:


Healthy skin · Flushes the Toxins · Keeps you Regular · Regulate Body Temperature · Speed up Metabolism · Reduce Cancer Risk · Lube Joins and Muscles · Improves Energy · Increase Mental and Physical Performance · Keeps you more Alkaline

Are you drinking enough? Each person should have about half of their body weight in ounces. If you are working out, add more to rehydrate.

Therefore, if you weigh 200 lbs. - you should be drinking 100 oz. per day.

I like to put a little tick mark on the neck of my water bottle for each one I finish. I have a hard time remembering. Don't forget to add this to your healing journal.

Try to limit coffee, tea & soda to one to two glasses a day. I like to have 1 cup of coffee in the AM & 1 cup of green tea in the evening. Rest of the day it's water for me. If you find coffee or tea make you a little more nervous, cut back or try decaf.

I am not a big fan of artificial sweeteners, try to keep these to a minimum. Does not help with brain support. I currently use Stevia in my coffee.

Today take a look at your water consumption and see where changes might be necessary. Put it into full gear tomorrow. In a few days it will seem like no big deal. If you need some flavor add a little orange, lime or lemon juice to your water for variety.


Make sure you have printed out the sheets for the daily healing journal. Enough for a few days to start. Find a great binder, one from the Garage is fine. Dust it off & let's get started. I am right here with you! Don't worry.

1st page of your Binder should be The Contract for Freedom. Have you signed one yet? You can find that one here.
Here is the link for the Healing Journal. Don't want to waste ink & paper? We have them bundled up for you in the Egg Shop & they are ready to ship to you today. Each book contains 31 sheets for the month.

Make sure to read Your Daily Egg each night this week as we look at the Steps to Freedom.

Keep me posted on how you are feeling or if you have any questions. I love hearing from you!


Wishing you a peaceful day,
Amy
