Stress and negative thoughts can get us down and nudge us into a cycle of self-defeatism. This can put a stop to you achieving your dreams and living the life you want. Follow these steps to learn how to detoxify your mind and reap the benefits of a happy and productive life.
Wake up 10 minutes earlier each day and start with a series of easy yoga stretches. Yoga is proven to reduce stress and the exercise shoots endorphins all around your body. This is far more effective than a Starbucks session or energy drink to get you buzzing.
Make it a habit every morning to mentally list the positive things in your life and the things you are thankful for. Each one of us, no matter how awful things seem has some great things happening too. By focusing on the positive things you will feel much better and unconsciously invite other positives into your life too.
Don't lose sight of your goals. All too often we get caught up in routine stuff life laundry and visiting the supermarket and do not focus our mental energy on the big picture. Think carefully and write down your goals. When you have done this devise an action plan by breaking your goal into small achievable bits. Place your plan in a prominent place where you will be reminded of it everyday. Each time you achieve one of the steps on your plan reward yourself to keep motivated.
Make your interactions with others positive. Bite your tongue rather than complaining to a colleague about the traffic on the way to work or grumbling about your partner not doing the washing up. These things don't really matter in the broad scheme of things, instead greet your co-worker with a winning smile and a freshly made coffee or tell your partner that you love them. Too often negative interactions with people cause us unnecessary stress.
Just a few small changes to the way you think and interact with others can make the world of difference to your mindset. Detox your mind and kick out the negative thoughts. When you replace toxic thoughts with positive thinking and actions you will find that more wonderful and positive things happen to you.
