Day 4 and tips to relieve stress and temptation to eat!
Felt great! I had energy and making sure to always have water nearby~!
I got really stressed out at one point (unrelated to the fast) but, thankfully I got to spend a couple of hours gardening with a tiny rottweiler puppy right by my side. The stress melted.
Sometimes when you are fasting, situations that stress you out may cause you to lose focus and a strong temptation to eat comes in.
In those moments, pray, maybe read some of the Bible and go do something having nothing to do with food. Depending on how much time you have and where you are at you can take a walk, take a bath, or spend some time outdoors.
Instead of caving in to the temptation,
you will grow by overcoming it!
Whether it is a few minutes or a longer, getting outside and spending some time with my garden always relaxes me. I feel connected to God surrounded by nature and plants.
When you begin a fast, have ideas of what to do when the temptation to eat comes (and it WILL come, count on that!)
But, please remember that the temptation to eat WILL PASS.
After day three, remember, hunger is gone so it is more of a physiological battle, as well as, a spiritual one! Pray! Pray! Pray!
