Fasting can be a strange, mysterious and for most people a new experience. When people usually think of fasting they think of strongly religious people sitting around in a quiet setting, sometimes doing chants and trying to become closer to a spiritual being. Fasting can actually have a good effect on our mental health and when life gets busy, can give us a slight break to focus on certain aspects that may be dragging us down. I found it interesting that many people actually fast for many different reasons than being a religious person. People can fast to work on big projects or even writing papers. Fasting can also help us understand different emotional aspects of our lives that can become easily clouded. Fasting many times is used to clarify situations that may be hard to work through because it frees up the mind and allows for our thoughts to become more clear.
