For many people, the word detox makes them cringe. It evokes fear and images of deprivation, hunger, and irritability, but it doesn't have to be that way. The main point of detoxing is to give your body a break and allow it to come into balance. We believe that cleansing should be a wholesome and fun experience that's all about giving yourself the best.
Some simple tips to aid you through your detox:
1 CREATE AN INTENTION
Determine what you want to get out of the process. What is your goal? Having more energy, losing weight, changing your relationship with food, boosting your immune system, finding food intolerances? Write your goals in a journal or create a vision board for clarity and to keep you on track.
2 DO IT WITH A FRIEND
Detoxing can be quite challenging, so it's vital to get some support. Ask a friend, your partner, or your whole family to join you. Doing it with others will make it a more enjoyable experience and increase your chances of success.
3 PAMPER YOURSELF
Cleanses aren't all about deprivation and suffering. Throw in a pampering session as well. Not only will it make you feel amazing, but it will also make the detox a pleasant experience that you'll look forward to doing often.
You can pamper yourself by getting a massage, scrubbing your body with a hot towel, doing detoxing yoga poses or nourishing your skin with coconut oil.
4 HYDRATE
Drinking enough water is vital to minimizing some of the unpleasant effects of detoxing. Hydrating alleviates achy joints, headaches, and moodiness. Also, it helps flush out the toxins faster.
5 EAT WHAT YOUR BODY LOVES
Consider the detox period as 3 to 7 days of giving your body the best. Eating whole and cleansing foods will restore your body's balance. You can use detoxes to create or try new recipes and share them with your loved ones.
6 JOURNAL
Keeping a journal during the detox helps you review your daily efforts, be aware of your emotions, and focus on what you want to do and how you want to feel the next day.
