Moving past just meditation a lot of our mental illness problems having to do with depression and unhappiness have a lot to do with what we put in our bodies. Because what we eat effects every aspect of our well being. From our skin, to our mental clarity, and our physical abilities. Just eating right can really change a lot in our life. Now, we all know how hard it can be to start a diet and to keep it going. So, when ever I start a new diet or if i'm having issues with my body I do a detox.
To detox is to purge all the yuckiness out of our bodies. There are many different ways to detox for many different problems with our bodies. An extreme would be just drinking water or doing the Mean Girl's diet of drinking Cranberry Juice for 24 hours straight, but thats not necessarily healthy. What I do is I go on "the sick" diet. I drink tons of water during the entire day and eat very simple foods like oatmeal and lentils. And I don't (seriously) put any additives in my food except a little bit of salt. Starting off on the right food helps a whole lot.
So, today try a simple detox of bland healthy foods and always have a bottle of water in your hands. Remember: What you put in your body effects every part of your being.
Pursuit of Happiness: Detoxify away.
Just a trick: Taking a MacDonald's straw or getting a fountain water helps you drink more water, because MacDonald's straws are wider on the inside but not as long so you drink more without even knowing it. Darn you, MacDonald's. Trick ones.
