Natalia has encouraged everyone to write themselves a letter committing to this fast. It can be so helpful to read your letter if you are feeling low or having a rough day of fasting. Writing this commitment letter really sets the tone for a great fast. Below is a letter Natalia has written.
Dear Self,
In my deepest sanity I write this letter to you. I acknowledge that so many substances that I have put into my body have not left but have accumulated in my intestine as well as deep in the cells, tissues, organs and pathways of my body. With this accumulation my body cannot function as it was intended. This accumulation has created blockages in my body that prevent the hum of life to resound as it should. It is this accumulation and the blockages created by it that have made me feel poorly, hold extra weight, be sad, grumpy, have symptoms (fill in the blank). I deeply wish to rectify this.
I am committing to this 10 day juice fast in order to help my body remove this accumulation and release these blockages so it can be brought to a higher order of being.
It is my deepest wish to undertake and complete this fast. I so greatly wish to know what is possible for my body if it is given the chance to be laid on Nature’s operating table. In this utterly silent state of sanity within, I know this is a definite necessity in my life. It is the right choice. I choose this and commit to it fully.
I know there will be moments when addiction, fear, desire and lower impulses try to convince me that I do not need to do this, that there is another way, that I can just eat better. But I have been there before and it hasn’t proved adequate. I am writing this to remind myself that fasting is what my true self really wants right now. I know I may come up with reasons in my less sane moments to undermine this initiative but I must not heed them.
This is the greatest gift I can give myself. I commit to seeing it through and at the very least, waiting until tomorrow morning to make any decisions otherwise.
I love you. I am coming to your aid. Nature is healing. We must give nature the space to work.
Love,
You
