Re: Spiritual - Fasting and the pressures of life

Yes, its the same here. Relationship issues, things that i thought were long gone in the past, are starting to resurface.

I have more reason now to complete an extended fast than ever before. I need to let some of the negativity out and bring some of the positive in.

I only seem to be able to keep with the 3 or 4 days of a fast before some sort of stress or family issue blows me out of the water.

I am not going to make a lot of excuses, or give countless reasons why i just could not finish. Because there are none, you either can do it or you cant.

I am preparing now. This might just very well be my only hope of clearing my mind enough to be able to rationalize again. I have dealt with some mental issues in my past, and although i feel okay, i have noticed some of the old pressures and circumstances surrounding my difficulties sneaking their way back in.
I have been long gone of taking any type of medications, but it worries me when others start to suggest that maybe i need to restart taking them!

I'll quit now or this will turn into a long drawn out post that no one will enjoy reading.

Be well.
