Start 2019 by establishing healthy habits that will nurture your body and soul and improve your health. Remember! We are body and soul beings. If you are only detoxifying your body you only complete half of the task toward optimal health.
Immediately upon rising:
- 10 minutes of prayer/meditation
- 10 deep diaphragmatic breaths
- Set the tone for the day by setting a positive mindset
- Turn your complaints into positive affirmations. Be mindful of the words you are speaking. They are defining YOU: are they all negative, complaints, criticism?
- Make a point of performing at least one act of kindness for another person each day (and record it at the end of your day)
Throughout your day:
- Prior to eating your meals: practice expressing gratefulness for your meal
- Put your phone/and other devices away while eating. Digestive enzymes are released when we think about food and as we see and eat our food. If your brain is focused on other tasks the release of such enzymes essential for digestion will be arrested or delayed and your food will be harder to digest – indigestion!
