The More We Cram into your Life, the Emptier we Feel

Like everything I can think of in life, it comes down to balance. If we don't fill our lives up enough, we feel lonely and depressed. If we cram too much into our lives, we feel empty, overwhelmed and depleted.

I'm guilty of the latter. I jam pack my life to fulfill some need. Admittedly, this is an addiction.

It's ironic that we gravitate to what we need to work on most. For me, I founded the JOOS Cleanse, which has the main goal of feeling mindful - to FEEL what is most nourishing for ourselves in what we eat, think and do. For example, are we overdoing exercise? Do we socialize with people who deplete us of energy? Do we rush around, late for almost everything, the way I do, and feel horribly about it?

The point is not to beat ourselves up about it; but to recognize that this is our journey. Personally, I know I'm a lot calmer now than I was six years ago when I was coming out of an incredibly unavoidably hostile divorce. I know I'm going to be an even more mindful person two years from now because I'm committed to this journey.

I encourage you to take the first steps towards becoming mindful, whether it be in the way you eat or another addictive pattern you want to break, through doing the JOOS Cleanse. We will support you along the way.

To Your Health!
