Day 5: Sensitivity

They lied! All of them! Every blog and article that said they enjoyed their cleanse or detox lied because I’m not yet enjoying this and my body is complaining about everything. First of all, I woke up at 4am very much alert. After 1.5hrs I drifted off into asleep again. When I finally got out of bed a few hours later I was alert and focused and felt like I'd had a good night's sleep; however, it was as though my body was floating through my apartment. It was such a weird out of body experience; I was weak but very much alert.

I decided I needed sustenance so I had a green smoothie at about 11am and woah! What a mad rush! It almost felt like a was a little bit high…probably on sugar. My smoothie consisted of kale, banana, avocado, pear, a tad bit of orange juice and plenty of water. It was very green :)

I finished it all before I took a picture but here it is from another day :)

On another note, I'm beginning to notice that the more my body complains, the more sensitive I become spiritually. For instance when I woke up at 4am I had a desire to pray so I did and really felt like I had a few revelations. During the day when I felt a bit week it sparked a deep urge to pray again. In the evening I tried to watch "When They See Us" and after about half way through the first episode I was clutching my chest and so emotional. I hit my knees and began to pray for people falsely accused and people I knew that were oppressed physically, emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually. It was a bit intense. I've never done that before.

Superfood of the day: Moringa. I got some from my family house in Nigeria and I usually drink water after eating it because the water tastes sweet…Sweet dreams!
