Fasting can be a challenge but I believe it is also very good for me. I have been on a water fast today, my first fast in quite some time. This all started when I recently came across a fasting website that had a lot of good information. Most of the info there was not new to me but most importantly it motivated me to start thinking about doing a fast of my own.
Water fasting is simply not drinking anything but water all day, and also not eating or taking in anything else. In its simplicity it is not that difficult a thing to contemplate doing. What is really cool actually trying it. It really helps you think about how and why you eat. So even if you fast for just one day, the focus and insight it gives you can stay with you for awhile. I know it makes me feel better to fast for a day and it helps me to eat better for at least a week afterwords. Past then I tend to fall back into my old habitats.
Maybe I need to try and fast once a week.
