A few months ago, I wrote about taking the risk of going on yet another food plan. Up until now, I’ve been on 799,000 of them, give or take a few, so it pleases me to report that on this one, it’s “so far, so good.”  I’m a little bored, but it’s taking me at least a part of the way I want to go, so that’s a plus.

Last night, I decided to add another component to the mix in the quest to be “Fit and Fab at 50,” which happens in December of this year.  Normally, I wouldn’t add more on to something that is already a challenge for me.  But this piece I think will actually help me stay the course, and also glean even more meaning out of the process.

The additional component is a 28-day program called the Soul Coaching Health Program, based on the work of Denise Linn (and a book called “Unlock the Secret Messages of Your Body.”  The fact that it only lasts 28 days is a big plus, believe me, but there are others, too.  One is that it’s called an Inner Cleansing System.  Cool, huh?  It’s not about what I should or shouldn’t eat, or about getting to the gym 14 times a week, but about something much deeper.  It’s about me and my relationship to my body.  Now there’s a relationship that has been on the rocks a time or two!

Another thing that I like about it is that each of the 4 weeks of the program is based on an element, either Air, Water, Fire or Earth, and the associated energies of that element, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual or Physical (respectively). I am excited about embarking on this deeper way of looking at things because I think it will help me to see my food plan as a part of my bigger goal, and because I think it goes so nicely with my current spiritual practices and beliefs.  I am sure it will stretch me, but I don’t think it will make me want to run screaming.  Or at least I hope this is true!

So I started today, and by the time I check in on the 20th of next month, my “innerds” should be all cleansed!  I’ll certainly let you know how it goes. And here’s a question for you: Is there a component you can add to something you are doing that will enhance it for you, make it richer, or even easier? I ‘d love to hear…

Until next time, my “innerds” say, “Happy Spring!”  What are yours saying to you?
