HOW TO: HAVE A “MINI” LIFE DETOX

THE PREP

First things first, it all starts on Friday night. Get yourself into the comfiest loungewear, order your favorite “Deliveroo” and cuddle up on the couch. Take some time for some “guilt-free-me-time” because tomorrow morning we’re starting fresh.

MORNING RITUAL

Whilst when you are feeling miserable the comfort of your doona could not be more appealing but try to resist the urge to tuck in for a lengthy sleep in and get outside for a refreshing walk. Getting your body moving will release those endorphins and if that’s not enough to make you as perky as Elle Woods it will certainly give you a much needed energy boost. Not to mention some fresh air will help to free your mind after the mental clutter of the week. Afterwards have a wholesome breakfast, aiming for something as healthy as you can to avoid feeling sluggish.

 

LIFE DE CLUTTERING

Now set aside some time to tidy up life’s clutter. Get out your diary and write down three things that you want improved in your life. They might be small goals like reading a certain book, finally taking that Barre class with your bestie or learning meditation to de-stress after work. Whatever they may be, turn your attention to what’s taking up your time that could be used for these things. Clear out any plans that are more obligation than enriching and schedule your week so that you can see where there’s room to meet these goals. Revisit this ritual weekly to make sure that you’re prioritizing these things and feeling prepared for the week ahead.
