Life can get overwhelming and finding some time for yourself can be tough. As crazy as it sounds, we as a society are constantly up-dating and truly have lost the most simplistic form of relaxation, slowing-down. As species we are consuming and consuming with little to no organic-fashion behind our personal "feel-good" consumption.
Finding time to breath and space to reevaluate is tough. Your life is extremely important and treasuring happiness and inner content is only a detox away.
Learning to detox is simply letting go of emotional and physical situations. You are in control. Remember that this is your life, start to finish. Everyday is a new opportunity to rewind and go forward in the path of your own direction. You are the sailor, the wind and the open water.
Simple Step-by-Step 1 Day Detox:
You can carry this detox throughout any day, time and period that applies to your own state of wellness:
1. Wake up energized:
(This is key)
- Brew your favorite cup of coffee, tea. Get your day started earlier
- Only use your smart phone for emergency situations. Don't use, open, check-up on any apps. If this conflicts with your work, school schedule, try limiting smart-phone usage
- Make a work-out play list, hit the gym/ treadmill/ yoga mat early on
2. Create a To-Do list:
(You don't need a fancy planner for this, FYI)
- Set your goals and go forward to pursue them
- Tell yourself you can and you will reach your destination
3. Physically clean your space around you:
(Mentally, this includes your day-to-day thought processes)
Physically, you can:
- Clean out your car, desk, bag pack, room, etc.
- Get a pedicure, manicure, etc.
- Create meal preps, detox waters for the day/week, etc.
- Cut out individuals that aren't doing you well, out of your inbox or real life, etc.
4. Watch what comes out of your mouth
(Yes)
- Language, attitude, etc.
- Don't put yourself and others down around you
5. Do something good for somebody else
(Being selfless is crucial)
- Buy an individuals meal/coffee behind you in the drive-thru, ect.
- Spark up a conversation with a stranger
- Help a struggling friend or family member out in one way or another
