Exercise & Yoga
Are very important when preparing for and during your spring detox. Movement allows qi and toxins to flow around your body. Exercise also stimulates bowel movements and sweating to release toxins. Yogi Shannon Rokis has an amazing online yoga studio which I recommend joining if you need to feel fit & calm. Most importantly ACCOUNTABLE for your exercise!
Mentally Prepare for Spring Detox
One of the greatest barriers to embarking on your Spring Detox is you! Yes, you will make up so many excuses to avoid doing it. Deep down you know you need it for your own benefit however only you can change your life and how you feel!

It was then that I started to feel edgy and irritable.
Be Grateful & Prepare For Some Discomfort
Before starting your Spring detox, focus on enjoying those things you love! Savour that glass of wine, enjoy a really beautiful piece of cake and bless your coffee with love! When you enjoy and express gratitude for your food it is more healing for you!
Along with detoxing chemicals, you may clear emotions too. This can cause uncomfortable emotions to arise. Be prepared to coach yourself through this. Let yourself know that this will soon pass and you will feel better everyday. In fact after a few days, you will feel really good!
Sugar, caffeine and alcohol are highly addictive. Many people self-medicate and escape reality through the pleasure obtained from these substances. Sugar is more addictive than heroin.
Look forward to feeling clear in your head and energised Enjoy feeling good! This is what is coming for you when you Spring detox.
