October 4(for) Green Acres Challenge

These monthly challenges are your opportunity to cultivate your own acres. They are designed to challenge your creativity, test your will power, and pull your awareness to the footstep you are leaving behind.

By participating in these challenges and sharing them with others you are spreading the message. Over time, those around us will be making better choices as well. The goal is not to change how you live your life, but rather think about the implications of those choices and tweek them for the best outcome.

OCTOBER CHALLENGE: IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

There is more to living a 4(for) green acres life than taking care of the earth.  Taking care of your body is just as vital.  While growing your own food to feed your body is important, so is general prevention.  With processed food taking over the markets and carcinogens in everything you come into contact with, stopping to filter and clean out some of the junk becomes necessary.

This month's challenge is centered around health.  That includes getting a routine physical with blood work, mammograms, prostate checks, etc.  It means taking the time to cleanse your intestinal track and get rid of the toxins that are harbored there.  Understand your body and know it, so if there is an issue you can be intuitively aware.

So, stop what you're doing right now and make an appointment with a physician.  It starts there.  It starts with the blood.  Later this month I'll be talking about various alternative medicine practices that I've been exploring lately.
