The Books

I had opporuntity today to have a better read over the books as I wanted to lend the main Quantum Wellness one (not the cleanse one) to my chiropractor (who is awesome!) who is starting to expand into conscious eating concepts.


I had fun highlighting parts and writing my own comments in the margins (as the cleanse progresses I will dredge some up for blogging - well, when i get it back from John!).
I enjoyed it because some of the things she says in the books I agree with and some I don't which is perfect as it gives me a chance to clarify what I think to myself: to actually think about it and put into a physical form (writing and then action) what I think.

The cleanse, remember, is part of Kathy Freston's Quantum Wellness idea which includes 8 "pillars" of wellness - the cleanse is one of these (not sure I mentioned that before).
It is Kathy that I picked up the term "leaning in" from.
I like this leaning in thing - you take bits of her ideas, or parts and do what you can, move forward with some of it - no need to do it all strictly at once or even ever do it all. For instance I certainly don't believe there is a need for me to be a strict vegan or even vegetarian. But, like her, I am open to the fact my beliefs on this may shift more towards the strict side at some point (we will delve into these ideas in later entries I am sure).
The leaning in thing is a sustainable approach of creating change.

No picture of dinner tonight - it was falafel, hummus, kumara and a pompadum.
