Spring is the best time for new starts,
and clearing out both our body and mind is essential for us feeling good and
ready for new adventures. Getting rid of damaging toxins and negative thoughts
is key to having a happy and healthy body and mind. Now, for some it might
prove difficult to decide exactly where to start, so this article will provide
you with some essential steps for an ideal spring cleaning of both your body
and your mind.
Fine Tune Your Diet
In order to detox your body and get rid
of all the excess layers brought to you by the ever tasty winter nutrition
regimen you need to do a thorough detox. This involves both your body and your
mind, you need to be determined to cut out all the unhealthy foods and to dedicate
yourself to a healthy diet that involves a lot of fruit and vegetables rich in vitamins and fibers. Of course this is not easy since some
lifestyle habits also need to change. You’ll have to find time to cook for
yourself, stay away from fast food restaurants and go to the grocery store a
lot more often than you are used to, but it will be worth your while.
First you will start to feel lighter as
you cut down on your carb and sugar intake, then you will get more energy, and
finally you ill see a lot of improvements on your skin when you start hydrating
properly. Now the best way to go about this is to create a spring detox and nutrition plan and do your best to stick to it. Don't
worry this does not include starving yourself, just changing up your eating
habits so as to allow your body to get rid of all the undesired toxins.
Treat Your Body With The Right Products
It is as important to know what you are
putting on your body as it is what you are putting in it. A great nutritional
plan won’t do you much good if the the products that you are using are putting
toxins right back into your body. So the first step is to switch to natural beauty products
so as to make sure that you avoid all the dangerous and unhealthy chemicals
that can be found in some artificial products.
Now that you have found the right type
of products it is time to change up your body pampering routine. As the season
changes so does the weather, so after having your skin exposed to hard and cold
winter winds it's time to provide it with a bit more care. So up you exfoliation
game, introduce some natural creams with a higher SPF and make sure you take
the time every week for some hydrating face masks. Your skin needs all the
moisture it can get before the scorching summer sun comes into play.
Give Your Mind A Once-Over
If we are being realistic it is a lot
easier to spring clean our body then it is our mind. Working on ourselves takes
time and patience. So it is obvious that one spring cleaning won’t be enough,
but there are some things that can make your life a lot better and easier.
Spring just invites us to go out into the sun, it is one of the essential
tricks to getting rid of winter depression. Getting out, walking,
clearing your head and letting all the negativity out is the best way to spring
clean your mind. The next step is to find a creative outlet, whether its
painting singling or photography. Make sure you make the time for yourself and
get creative, expressing yourself artistically can do wonders for your self-esteem. Finally,
make time for such activities as meditation and yoga, finding the way to
balance yourself in the midst of our hectic lifestyle and stressful schedules.
Your body and mind are now ready for
spring, cleaned and pampered. Whenever we make an effort to invest time and
energy into ourselves it is bound to enrich our lives and make us feel better
and more self confident. And what better time to start then spring, a time when
everything in nature is waking up and transforming.
