For a while now I’ve been making a point to eat a lot healthier and part of that includes eliminating sugar, processed foods, and white flour from my diet.

It was hard at first but after the initial shock to my system (I was a sugar-holoic) I didn’t really miss it.  Then over the weekend all hell broke loose on the diet front!

I was working at the psychic fair, a twice a year event I’ve been involved in for a while now.  I’m one of the organizers and our wonderful volunteers brought in all sorts of goodies for the staff to partake in.  We had pastries and cookies and this yummy chocolate creation that I swear came right from heaven!  Plus there was a booth selling homemade chocolate truffles and the sample tray kept luring me back.

So needless to say I completely saturated myself with sugar, trans-fats, preservatives, soda, and all sorts of junk food.

Ok so what does this have to do with manifesting?

A lot!

You see after having a total binge day Sunday I woke up Monday an emotional wreck.  I was having one of those “poor me” days where I thought no one loved me and nothing was ever going to work out and I’d never reach any of my goals and on and on and on.

After about an hour or wallowing it finally occurred to me that maybe my sugar-overloaded body had something to do with it.  Like perhaps it had thrown me way off balance hormonally or emotionally so even though I didn’t feel sick physically it was really still the cause of my mood.

So I started right away to flush my system out.  Several quarts of water and herbal tea later along with multiple trips down the hall and all of a sudden my mood cleared, I felt much better and saw things a lot differently.  Also the sugar craving I’d woken up with was totally gone.

By evening I felt 90% back to normal.

Proof positive to me that junk food really does affect your mood which in turn affects your outlook on life which in turn affects your ability to focus on and manifest what you want.

For me it was very dramatic since I’d been eating healthy for so long.  But looking back I can see that when I was a junk food junkie I was also chronically depressed and very negative on life.  So I suspect that a steady diet of the stuff can lead to chronic negativity which isn’t good at all from a manifesting standpoint.

Interesting huh?
