Achieving peace of mind is not an easy task and some say it is not possible to do it. However, there are ways that you can get close. This is a popular time of year to think about your personal and business goals. Are you working to improve anything in this new year?
We all like to think we will finally make positive changes and work towards reaching our goals. Furthermore, we all probably consider changes to our diets, making more time for physical activity and maybe even getting our house more organized. How about working on feeling more at peace?
All of these are really important to maintain your health. In the next month or so, I want to talk about 7 ways to detox your life, which comes from my Stress Solution 6-week coaching program. The first of these is Detoxing your MIND.
Daily Time Out
Taking care of your mindset is crucial in a world full of distractions and negativity. Do you feel like your mind never slows down? I know mine does not!
How about giving yourself at least a 15-minute mind-break daily.
It’s kind of like a reset. Pray, meditate or whatever floats your boat. You will value these 15 minutes and look forward to it — I promise! I find that sometimes I need more resets throughout my day but the most essential time for me is in the morning before my day starts. It helps to ground me and starts my day on a positive note. This gives me a little peace!
Check Your Thoughts
Reevaluating your thought process is a fabulous way to jumpstart this mind detox.
Creating positive mind-talk practices can start a healthy habit that will last you a lifetime.
Learning your triggers will help assist you in rewiring your mental conversation. Pay close attention to what runs through your mind daily and the manner in which you perceive these thoughts. That quiet time will help calm the outer noise and help you listen to and evaluate your thoughts more deeply. There are many ways to treat yourself to a break daily, and you will discover what works best for you during your practices.
Ask yourself these questions: What is one aspect of your life that’s leaving a lingering negative feeling? How can you adjust this to bring more positivity into your life?
It is impossible to entirely evade negativity in the real world (that would be nice though, right?) – but it is an unfortunate reality that we sometimes pile on more than necessary.
One way to reduce negative damage is to alleviate those things that we can control.
What are some negative influences in your life that you can cut out? This could include people, TV shows, negative habits, etc.
Surround Yourself with Positivity
Be aware of what you allow into your sacred body (emotionally, physically, and mentally). Think hard about some sources of negativity in your life that you can begin to eliminate. Again, if you surround yourself with like-minded and positive people you will be even more successful. Find some quiet time each day and you will see how it restores your energy!
