7 Day Detox
Wellness | Skin | Movement
I did this diet for only 7 days, usually I do it for an entire month. I’m beginning to learn to embrace the natural curves and physical changes that come with getting older and mature. This detox is not geared to losing weight quick, it’s more for getting yourself back to a place of center, motivation and focus.
I would suggest this 7 day detox for those who are aware that they are in their own way. Although, this will be challenging if you need help with discipline, drive and accountability this is a great place to start! I’ve put together this easy guide to help you along your 7 day journey of new awakening and inner power. I just completed it and I feel great! I am motivated, confident and sure of me again! Sometimes you just need a reset and recharge!
Quarantine 15 hit me around mid January, I found myself not only uncomfortable in my body but more concerning uncomfortable in my mind. Part of the reason was lack of discipline, drive and depression the other part was allowing myself to indulge in foods I haven’t had the luxury of eating is a very long time. I’m a performer, with my lifestyle and career, I’m extremely conscious of my body image. In the past, I can admit to struggling with negative body images and not being body positive. Which is why I am not upset nor do I regret eating all the unhealthy, processed and yes chicken (I’ve been vegan for five years) before this diet. It’s not the food that was upsetting me, it’s the lack of effort and movement after consuming that weighed so heavy. It’s the days of knowing I ate bad, but not getting up and moving through it. I’m a firm believer in the connection of mind, body and spirit. One does not go without the other. The inactivity allowed for depression to creep and it became a cycle.
I thank and honor my body and mind for always adapting to life’s constant changes of womanhood. I thank and honor my spirit for being intuitive and conscious, guiding me to peace and centering me whenever I find myself off track!
