Your 6-Day Detox Plan

The sight of clutter creates mental friction. Today, we're not organizing the entire house; we're focusing on high-impact zones.

• Action Plan: Set a timer for 15 minutes and tackle just one area: the kitchen counter, the dining table, or your closet.
• The 3 section Rule: Everything goes into one of the three sections: Trash, Donate, or Put Away. Don't think about "maybe" items - if you haven't used it in a long time.
• The Holiday Bonus: Clear a drawer or shelf specifically for holiday-themed items so everything is kept together at one place. 

Let's focus on rehydrating and giving your digestive system a break.

• Action Plan: Aim to drink sufficient water during the day.
• Meal Simplicity: Focus on whole, easily digestible foods. Eliminate refined sugar, processed snacks, and excessive caffeine from your diet.
• Mindful Eating: Eat slowly and do not overeat.

The holidays are best enjoyed in the present moment, not through a screen.

• Action Plan: Delete or hide your most time-consuming social media app(s) for a few days.
• The 9 PM Rule: Commit to putting all devices away (phone, tablet, TV) at least one hour before bed.

Financial stress occupies the mind most of the time. Take control over your finances.

• Action Plan: Finalize your purchase list and chalk down the expenses. Assign a strict budget against each item/gift.
• Create a Budget Buffer: Look at your total budget and add a 15% contingency fund to it. Knowing you have a buffer reduces anxiety when unexpected costs arise.

Reconnect your body and mind through restorative movement.

• Action Plan: Gentle Movement: Commit yourself to 30-minute fitness regime 5 days a week. This could be a gentle yoga session, a long walk in nature, or a stretching routine.
• Prioritize your Sleep: Take out time to rest and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.

Re-center yourself with a powerful mental exercise.

• Action Plan: The Gratitude Journal: Write down five things you are truly grateful for that are not physical items. This shifts your focus from acquiring things to appreciating experiences.
• The "Joyful Yes" List: Look at your calendar for the next month. Identify the commitments that bring you pure joy.

Have a joyous season ahead.
