🌸 Inspiration Corner

Charles F. Glassman’s idea of an "elimination diet" isn’t about food—it’s about letting go of the mental and emotional burdens that weigh us down. I’ve noticed that when I hold onto anger, regret, or worry, they consume my energy and cloud my ability to make clear decisions. But when I practice releasing those emotions, my mind feels lighter, my creativity flows, and I’m able to move forward with more clarity.

Right now, I’m focusing on eliminating one emotional burden at a time. When frustration creeps in, I pause and ask myself, Does holding onto this serve me? If not, I take a deep breath and let it go. Just like nourishing my body with healthy food, I’m learning that nourishing my mind with peace and acceptance leads to a healthier, more fulfilling life.


🧘 Mindful Living Tip

I use a practice called the “Mental Detox List.” Each morning, I write down one thought or emotion I need to release—whether it’s worry about an outcome or guilt over something small. Then, I physically cross it out, signaling to my mind that I am letting it go. This small ritual helps me start the day with a lighter, more focused mindset.
