A spring detox does not have to be full of rules and restrictions. It doesn’t have to mean green drinks or daily water fasts. It can be anything you want it to be with a specific health, wellness and/or self-care goal in mind.
As I mention in the video, it can be as “simple” as reducing the amount of coffee you drink daily, or the amount of sugar you add to your cup of coffee. Making these changes for about two weeks will allow you to see that it is possible to make healthy changes without feeling deprived. After all, you still have your coffee (and your sugar as the case may be), but you are on your way to making changes to better support your overall well-being. Once you start eliminating some of the foods and drinks that may be sabotaging your health, you can continue to reduce the amounts and then add in healthier options, such as green tea for some caffeine.
The important thing is to look at your life and your goals – nutrition and health, career, relationships, family, physical activity and spirituality. Think about what you need to do to achieve your goals and then make a choice to engage in activities that support you.
And remember, this is about YOU. Your friends, family or co-workers may have goals they share with you, but you are a unique individual. Don’t feel pressured into signing up for an expensive cleanse or program if you are not certain it will fulfill your needs. [Having said that, I don’t want to discourage participation in structured events if there are any that call to you. There are some great programs and I’m happy to refer some to you if you are interested. Email [with SPRING CLEANSE IDEAS in the subject line.]
Let me know what you choose to “cleanse” this season and how I can support you.
