Quotes
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it
seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up,
for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”---Helen
Beecher Stowe
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so
long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened
for us.”---Helen Keller
“I feel that God is calling me to do something for him I have not done
in the past; that it is God laying upon me responsibilities I have not
known hitherto; it is God pointing to higher heights than by his grace
my poor feet have yet climbed; and it is God pointing to dark millions
that before I had been only able to pray for, and not to help in so
literal a sense as I hope to now.”---Emma Booth-Tucker

Article 1
Purging
By: Dietta L. Stewart
Being balanced is a process of removing excess from our lives and adding
or preserving the essentials. Purging is a tool that we can use
periodically to restore a sense of balance to our overcrowded lives.
Here are a few tips to help you purge your life and increase the
balance.
Purge your mind. Once while watching a female standup comedian I had
to laugh at the truth in her story about the busyness of a woman’s mind.
Women are always thinking about something. When my husband is sound
asleep I sometimes find myself staring at the ceiling trying to go to
sleep, but can’t because I’ve got too many things running through my
mind. One trick I’ve learned to use to empty my mind is to write down
my thoughts in a journal.
Purge your body. Fasting is one of the best ways I have found to
cleanse my body, mind and spirit. I find that when my life is burdened
down with a lot of things that don’t belong fasting is a good way to
center myself and restore clarity. It is helpful also to fast before
starting a new diet program. Juice fasting, and cleansing soups and
teas are great ways to feel better and get your mind ready for a new
program. (If you want to know about a good tea that can help to cleanse
your body of harmful toxins email me at die-@balanceboosters.com, I
also have a couple of recipes for cleansing soups)
Purge your heart. Are you harboring feelings of bitterness and anger
towards someone? If so, releasing these feelings will help to restore
balance to your life. You have probably heard that forgiveness is more
for you than the other person, this is definitely true, you can forgive
even if the person or people don’t deserve it and bring peace to your
own heart.
Purge your relationships. Now I say this with caution…let go of
relationships that are not healthy. I don’t want to be responsible for
breaking anybody up, but I do want to encourage you to look at your
relationships more closely and see if there are any people in your life
that are causing you more harm than good. Healthy relationships bless
each person involved. There is not one person who is doing all the
giving or all the receiving. There is a balance there. Another test is
to ask yourself if you are growing in the relationship. If you are not
moving forward, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually then this may be
a clue that you are not in a healthy relationship. We could spend an
entire book on this but we won’t :-)
Purge your environment. Get rid of items in your home or personal
space that do not fit who you are or do not promote good health.
Eliminate toxic chemicals from your home. Open up the windows instead of
staying cooped up with the air conditioner all the time. It has been
noted that outside air is often times healthier than indoor air because
of the harmful chemicals found in our homes. I used to gripe (and
sometimes still do) to my husband about not wanting to run the air
conditioner. Now I understand that it is healthier to let fresh air
flow through our homes.
Straighten up drawers and closets. Restore order to chaos. Bring peace
back to your surroundings.
Note: For more information on creating a toxin free environment, email
me or visit my website http://www.MommyBalance.com for more information.
This is serious stuff and we really need to take steps to use healthier
alternatives in our homes.
