Raw Support
Most people are so amazed when they see the stunning results of Raw Magic that they want to do it immediately. For example, my friends and family express total surprise when they see me for the first time since I have been living Raw Magic. They look at me differently. They are completely blown away and want to know what I did. What happened? How did you change so much? You look incredible! You are so lean and muscular. You look like the perfect picture of health! You radiate a strong and positive glow of energy! You look 20 years younger! What did you do? I want to do it too!
Now you are learning that you really can do this same thing for yourself and it is not going to cost you any more than just what it costs to eat the right food and the right exercise. This time you are not falling for some fast-talking new program that promises to fix your problem overnight. We all know by now that quick fixes do not work, but we fall for them every time because we are excited and because we want it so badly.
Just know with absolute certainty that Raw Magic really does work and it won’t let you down if you just follow the program. I promise you that if YOU deliver, Raw Magic will deliver and you will be happy beyond belief.
A Good Plan and Support System
Now that you discovered the power of Raw Magic and decided to apply it to your life, it is extremely important to have a good plan and support system in place to help keep you on your path to success and to get you through moments when you will have urges to give in to old habits like eating certain cooked foods and drinking alcohol and yes, even drinking sodas.
It’s Normal to Have Strong Urges For Your Old Habits
It’s only natural that you will have strong urges because you spent your entire life eating cooked foods and possibly much of your life drinking alcohol and soda pops. Eating cooked foods is an extremely deep-rooted habit and alcohol and sodas, for many, is even a part of their daily lives.
It is clear that there will be challenges, but you also need to know that they can be overcome with motivation, planning and a good support system.
Urges Are Strong But They Don’t Last Long
One thing I discovered from quitting smoking and drinking alcohol is that while those kinds of urges may be strong, they only last a few minutes at a time. The key is to get through each short-lived urge without giving in and you’ll find that your mind will automatically wander to something else. In the beginning, the urges are stronger and more frequent, but with time, they become weaker and less frequent, eventually disappearing.
Because urges for eating are driven by both habit and actual hunger sensations from your stomach and brain, those urges will be stronger and will last longer. It is, therefore, important to satisfy the feeling of hunger with only raw foods. They will satisfy your hunger and within 10 to 15 minutes after eating, your urge will begin to go away. You may still have some desire for certain cooked food dishes, but that too will soon disappear.
Again, the trick is to get through each single urge because they usually don’t last for more than a few minutes. |
Spend some time reading about the power of affirmations in Raw Mind Fitness where you will find helpful mind exercises to successfully manage your urges as well as everything else in your life. Affirmations are simply very clear statements that something is “so” even though it is not at the moment you say it. They have been proven to be a very effective method to retrain your subconscious to get it to do what you want like changing your habits. An example is: “I am perfectly healthy and happy and I eat only living food that is filled with rich nutrients”.
Your newfound excitement for Raw Magic is extremely important and motivating and it has gotten you here to where you are ready to do it for yourself, but it’s still missing two key ingredients.
The Missing Links to Success
Many people jump right into Raw Magic without thinking enough about what a huge lifestyle change it is. They are missing a good plan to keep their focus and also a support system to help get through those rough moments when an urge strikes. I’ve seen this too many times with others and myself, so I know a solid plan and support system are absolutely essential for success.
Make Your Plan
For the first two weeks, keep your focus only on eating raw foods and physical exercise. It’s best to start Raw Mind Fitness only after your mind is fueled and fertilized by at least two weeks of eating raw foods and physical exercise. Your mind will then be ready and open for the next incredible journey in store for you. You will also be busy the first two weeks adjusting to your new schedule and will need the extra time reading and preparing for Raw Mind Fitness.
Pick a day when you will start and prepare for that day. Get a very large calendar and hang it in clear sight where you will always see it. Write down what you plan to eat for each day of the week. Write down your body and mind exercise plan. Write down the time you are going to exercise. Write what food you actually ate and what exercises you did and for how long. How did you feel after each meal? How did you feel after each exercise? Write it all down where you can see it. The bigger it is, the better it will serve you!
If you need a larger space for each calendar day, write each day on a sheet of regular letter paper and place them in plain sight on a wall where the days are in order like a calendar. Again, keep this calendar where you will always see it and remember, the bigger your calendar is, the better it will work for you!
Read Raw Foods to Eat and go online to discover incredible basic and gourmet raw food recipes.
Organize your food shopping and preparation into your schedule. Make sure you can comfortably shop for and prepare your food and juices on a realistic schedule. This all takes some effort, but it is worth it and will fall into place very quickly. Get rid of all of your processed food. Throw out canned foods and any food that is not live and fresh. Clean out your kitchen and your refrigerator so there is no temptation. Get rid of your alcoholic beverages, sodas and sugary drinks. Make your shopping list for the market and stock up your kitchen with a wide variety of fresh, organic, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes and grains.
Stop and Think BEFORE You Put That Bite or Sip In Your Mouth
When an urge strikes to eat cooked foods or to drink alcohol, or that soda, the very first thing to do is to stop everything. Stop! Freeze! Always think about every bite or sip before you put it in your mouth! Think before you order that food or before you order that drink. Think about what it’s going to do to your body and brain. Think about it. Don’t ignore your urge and just give in without thinking first. Face it and control it. The price of not thinking is too high.
Think about the benefits of Raw Magic and how great you are going to look and feel very soon if you simply practice the magic and don’t give in to temptation. You can only reap the rewards if you follow your new habits of Raw Magic.
When You Get an Urge 1. STOP EVERYTHING! |
Partner With Someone You Live With
I think by far the absolute best support system is to do Raw Magic with a partner you live with. Talk to your partner and show them the benefits of Raw Magic. Show them the web site. Show them the Before and After Eating Raw Pics. Show them the My Amazing Story page, the Why Eat Raw Food page, the Testimonials and the Scientific Studies. Do it together. You won’t be tempted by the others’ eating or drinking habits and you can both support each other at the right time when an urge strikes. It’s much easier for many reasons.
Partner With Someone You Can Call Anytime
If you can’t do it with someone you live with, then find a supportive friend and tell them about Raw Magic. Show them what you are doing and make arrangements with them for their support to get through any urges you may need help with. If you are having an urge and need help to get through it, call your friend and talk about it. Talk about how you don’t want to blow it. Remind yourself about the benefits of Raw Magic. In a few minutes, the urge will pass and at the end of 30 days, your urges will begin to subside significantly.
Talk To Your Partner BEFORE You Give In
Talk to your partner before you take that bite or sip. Ask your partner to remind you why you are practicing Raw Magic.
Look at the Before & After Eating Raw Pics
If you get an urge, go to RAWMAGIC.COM and look at the Before & After Eating Raw Pics. Go through the site and remind yourself why you are changing your life. You want to look great. You want to feel great. You want to be super healthy and super happy. You want a better life. And you know you can have it all if you only change your old habits and don’t give in. The few seconds of giving in to your urge and tasting your old habits will prevent you from having it all. It’s not worth it! Keep reminding yourself, “It’s not worth it!”. “The price is too high”!

Avoid Temptation
Keep ONLY organic, raw foods in your house and around you.
Do not keep any alcohol or sodas in your house.
Alcohol will greatly weaken your self-control and will cause failure.
Sodas are loaded with sugars and chemicals and are not your friend.
Stay away from restaurants for your first 30 days, especially, fast-food restaurants.
Affirmations
Affirmations are very clear statements that something is “so” even though it is not at the moment you say it. They have been proven to be a very effective method to retrain your subconscious to get it to do what you want, like changing your habits. By repeatedly speaking your affirmations to yourself throughout the day, you will create strong beliefs in your subconscious mind that will eventually change your behavior. That’s right! You can change your behavior IF YOU WANT TO.
Write your affirmations and print them out so you can repeat them frequently. “I can!”. “I think before I eat or drink!”. “I only drink things that are healthy for me!”. “I only eat food that is good for me!”. “I am strong!”. “I succeed at everything I do!”. “I am the best version of me I can be!”.
It’s important to know that your affirmations should always be positive and never include any negative words like “no” or “never” or “not” or “negative”. For example, instead of saying, “I don’t eat cooked foods!”, say, “I only eat foods that are uncooked and healthy for me!”. Another example is, instead of saying, “I don’t drink alcohol!”, say, “I only drink things that are healthy for me!”. For someone wanting to quit smoking, they should say, “I only breathe pure, clean, healthy air into my lungs!”.
Another fact about your subconscious is that it does not know tense. It does not know what the past was and it does not know what the future is. It only knows “now”. So always keep your affirmations in the positive and in the now.
Start believing your affirmations with all your heart. See yourself clearly as the person you dream of being. You can learn more about the power of affirmations in Raw Mind Fitness.
Don’t Beat Yourself Up…..Build Yourself Up
It’s very difficult to eat only raw foods all of the time. Most of the world centers around cooked foods and they are everywhere you look. Nobody is perfect and we all give in to urges sometimes. If you do give in to an urge, don’t feel guilty and beat yourself up. Instead, enjoy your meal and remind yourself that you are just learning and that you are now getting back on track. You are determined to succeed at your 30-day goal. And you will succeed! Don’t beat yourself up…..Build yourself up!
Alcohol Lowers You Self Control
Even though you already know this, you need to be reminded over and over that alcohol lowers everyone’s self-control and makes it more difficult to control your urges. Alcohol weakens your will power and will cause failure. That’s another great reason not to drink. If that isn’t enough, alcohol can permanently damage your brain, your liver, your kidneys and other body functions if you drink too much.
Sodas Are Not Your Friend
The average American drinks 52 gallons of sodas each year. Just imagine what 52 gallons of sweeteners and chemicals can do to your body. Sodas are believed to be a major contributor to heart disease, stroke, obesity and diabetes. Click here to learn more about sodas. There is also a description in Testimonials of what happens to your body when you drink just one Coke.
Conclusion
Urges attracting you to your old habits may be difficult to control, but they are not impossible. If you remain conscious and think clearly, you will succeed because you want the results of your succes... you want a completely new and rich life... and this is the only way to get there.
