But what about when it comes to our minds? Just as our bodies retain toxins and waste, our minds hold on to toxic outlooks and attitudes. A poisonous mentality can sour pretty much every life event. As you go about your day, stop once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed to jot down notes on the day’s events and how they made you feel. Were you stressed, invigorated, overwhelmed? No judgment, just journaling. Work to come up with ways to phase out the activities that negatively affected you and play up the positive ones. Once you finish the seven-day mental detox, let a few of your favorite exercises become habit. Make them a part of your daily routine, and eventually you won’t even realize you are doing them.
