Ridding ourselves of toxic energy, experiences and people is an incredible way to feel energised and revived. More often than not we maintain the same patterns of behaviour and expect different outcomes. A cleanse can facilitate the build-up of clutter and sluggish baggage which can drag us down. We place so much energy, time and money into our physical well-being, we neglect how harmful the environment is around us.
One example of how to start a cleanse: Try jotting down three things that create the sense of 'junk' in your daily life - whether its specific people, social media or your own negative thoughts. Then list two ways you could tackle each one (you may find some match up.) Another thing is to write down daily, 2 things that you were grateful for that occurred that day. Finally implement some mindfulness, I advocate for the Buddhify app, it's my personal favourite and just do 10 minutes a day. Try using your new techniques for 3-5 days and see if you feel any different. The goal isn't to rid yourself of negative emotions, rather help clear out stagnant ones. So, whether it is cutting down, replacing healthy for unhealthy or a full on detox, this exercise helps us to become aware of the damage that negative emotions have on us.
