It's not me, it's you

Hey sweet ones,

This is in you, too:I’ve never felt so connected to myself in my life. I need to work harder at reaching out for support, rather than for what is convenient.~ C, in New YorkThe power of community that gathered for this cleanse - it has been so incredible!~ I, in Palo AltoI’ve lost 16 pounds…but more than that, all the tools and tips that we got were really enlightening too. More energy without caffeine, I’m going to the gym a few times a week, and I’m taking action and procrastinating less. I used to get stuck in beating myself up - and I’m making more forward movement. Upward spiraling.~ P, in NJI was raised to be the good girl - not not make trouble. But through this eight weeks, I’ve been putting myself towards the top of the pile. It feels really good to be standing up for myself and not worry so much about “being a pain” just for asking for what I want.~ C, in Texas"You did this,” I told them.I was just the guide.These were a few of the comments from the last Cravings Cleanse + Mindset Makeover members…I’ve put up the blog posts, written the worksheets, put together the recipes, and recorded the modules, but you did the work, I told them.You raised your hand and said, “Yes, Alex. I’m ready.”And there is power in saying YES.Asking for help.Putting yourself first.I can give you every bit of knowledge, inspiration, recipes, positive psychology and more…But it will be you who makes it happen.Most of my cleanse members didn’t really believe they could stop eating sugar…and then they did.Many of the women had never spent that much money on themselves…but then they did.One woman didn’t think she could keep up with her kids, start-up business, and succeed at the cleanse…and she did.It wasn’t me - it was them.When you say YES, the wild forces of the Universe (God, Goddesses, Light, Life, what have you)snap to attention and start moving your way.Real, lasting transformation happens on the level of thoughtful action. It’s when you do IT differently... (this whole dropping pounds + boosting energy thing, AKA getting really, beautifully healthy)…it’s about putting yourself and your health first instead of putting your needs at the bottom of the heap again.…it’s about asking to join a community of women, even when you’re scared, instead of trying to do it alone again.…it’s about bravely looking at the reason for your mean self-thoughts, instead of avoiding them with sugar again.This is where the magic is. In YOU.But you’re not doing it alone.We’re here together - through eight glorious, shaky, illuminating weeks of live coaching, daily internet pow-wows.The work is here, between us. It’s my calling, and it’s your time.To get right with your body, to love food again, and to get your life back.Doing it together gives us strength and clarity.And it brings us closer to who we’re supposed to be.Xo,AlexJoin the April 16th Cravings Cleanse + Mindset Makeover - go here now:
