RULES AND INSTRUCTIONSd The challenge consists of 10 full days of cleansing, fasting, purging and special rituals all designed to increase your level of self-love. There are 3 parts to your Stiletto Rejuvenation days: Morning ritual, Midday Ritual and Evening Ritual. In addition to the rituals, your diet will consist of only raw foods, infused water and fresh fruit and vegetable juices. You may also add protein shakes or bars for additional energy if needed. You also must eliminate all noise such as TV, music, and certain people from your space for the entire 10 days. During this challenge you must be extremely mindful of your thoughts, words and choice language. Every word that leaves your mouth is subject to manifestation (becoming real) especially since during this challenge, your energy and vibration will be elevated. So think before you speak and only talk in the present, positive tense. Example: If you are hungry say: “My body needs to be nourished. I am going to eat.” Instead of “I am starving.” By speaking I AM starving… you are speaking lack, void of food and nourishment, and poverty. Those words have the potential to manifest into something that would not be favorable to you in the near or far future or in a different situation or circumstance.

Here are a few other examples of how to control your language: Wrong: “I am so tired of this” Right: “I am choosing to do something different in this moment” Wrong: “I am so broke, I never have any money” Right: “I am in the process of earning more money” Wrong: “I never get into accidents” Right: “I always drive safely” Wrong: “I don’t like that” Right: “I like that”

During this challenge, keep your home clean, beautiful and organized. Keep fresh flowers or plants around your home. Go above and beyond your normal cleaning routine to keep the energy in your home free and light. (Example: make up the bed as soon as you get out of it, every dish you use wash it immediately, wipe down the shower after you use it etc.) Look your absolute BEST at all times. Your appearance should be polished, clean and well put together. Clothes neatly ironed, coordinated etc. Hair, skin & nails clean and groomed etc. If you wear make-up wear colors and styles that are new and vibrant. Make sure you are always smelling good, looking good and feeling good! Your diet is a complete raw foods/juicing diet. This is designed to cleanse your skin, colon and organs as well as release toxins and increase your energy. This diet will also release excess water weight and waste that has settled in your system. Raw foods consist of any UNCOOKED fruits or vegetables with nothing added to them like dressing, butter, sugar etc. Meat, fish, or tofu is not permitted whatsoever. You may however include a low sugar protein shake in your diet if you need some added energy. You are to juice fresh drinks a minimum of 3 times per day. When you prepare your juice, you must drink it immediately (Do not let it sit for more than 30 minutes.) In between your juices and water; eating salads or handfuls of fresh fruits and veggies will keep you full and energized throughout the day.
