If you keep doing the same things year after year, you’ll keep getting the same results year after year.

As motivational speaker, Les Brown, says, “You have to be willing to do the things today that others won’t do, in order to have the things tomorrow that others won’t have!”

(*In this case, things like less weight, a trim figure and good health.)

Do you have the courage and discipline? While everyone else is gorging themselves–particularly over the next several days–do you have the courage and discipline to create a different outcome for yourself in 2023?

Introducing my holiday gift to you:
“The 12 Days of Fasting!” Musical motivation you can sing any time of year…performed by Ukrainian singer, Olya L.

An original song by the Ageless Adept;
Composed Dec 8, 2022 5:22pm ChST
Vocalist: Olya L. (Fiver.com)

Watch  until the end for bonus lyrics!

KARAOKE:

 

Nerd alert:

(1) This is only a song–a musical representation of some of the benefits of an extended water fast. In reality, some of the benefits sung about will likely require more than 12 days of fasting to experience!

(2) The gifts associated with certain of the days of fasting are not random. For instance

“fourth day of fasting…4 colons cleaned…”
The colon is divided into four parts: ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon.

“fifth day of fasting…5 senses fixed…”
There are, of course, five senses (that we popularly discuss)–sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste–all can be tweaked and improved by an extended fast.

“tenth day of fasting…10 nails a-growing…”
You’ll often experience hair and fingernail growth (10 fingers) during an extended fast.

“eleventh day of fasting…11 systems humming…”
The 11 organ systems of the human include the integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, urinary system, and reproductive systems. (Some sources cite 12, but that wouldn’t work for my song!)

(3) And, in case you’re wondering, the “12 days of Christmas” is the period in Christian theology that marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings’ Day)
