Life Detoxes



We speak and focus so much on detoxing our body, that we often forget that we also have the option of doing a little life detox too.
Small but significant ways in which we can make life instantly easier!

* Book all those appointments that you have been putting off. They can absorb mental space, so being organised with these little things will make a world of difference

* Make over your make up. Anything with an applicator lasts three months. Foundation and cleanser lasts six to 12 months, lipstick and concealer lasts a year and powders need to be replaced every two years. Not sure the shelf life of your product? Most beauty products have a use by indicator on the back or bottom. See below for example:



* Make a critical list. Things that make you feel grounded and in control

* Unsubscribe from all those deals, specials, newsletters you get every day via email that you delete immediately. Feel the weight lift from your mental inbox!

* Have a no-spend day (I can't believe I'm writing this one. It's hurting, trust me). Challenger yourself not to spend any money for a day. Try homemade breakfast, tea, lunch and dinner. Bring from home whatever you can!

* Stop multitasking. One recent study showed that it takes about 15 minutes to recover from a distraction, like a new email or text. 

* Buy a plant. A bit of greenery does you good. One study showed pot plants reduced stress and fatigue, plus they look pretty. 

* Digital cleanup! Similar to the unsubscribing from all the crap you no longer read, a cluttered inbox is just as bad for your mental health as a cluttered work desk. Delete or neatly file away!
