Body Detox Tips - Create Some Space In Your Head

Starting a detox diet is in ideal time to get other areas of your life in order and under control again. A total body detox need not just be about changing the foods you eat - clearing your head and your life is a very cleansing experience in it's own right.

We all have ghosts or skeletons in our minds. We are full of 'what if, 'I wonder', 'should have' and 'if only.  If we used this time more effectively, doing something about our worries instead of just worrying, then we would clear a lot more space and create a lot more peace in our minds.

Because we believe there is nothing we can do to sort out the situation, we keep going over and over it in our minds and using valuable space that would be better used for something positive and constructive.

When we start a body detox program we can take this opportunity to clean the thoughts away or file them so that they can be used when we choose to use them, rather than springing to mind when we least need them to.

The first step is to note down all the things that:

You truly believe you cannot do anything about but want to, in order to clear them out of your thoughts.

You constantly think about and want to do something about.

Now you can start to make amends and clear your mind. Taking the situations and individuals one at a time, write them a letter. Make sure that you cover every issue that concerns you and make sure that you put in the letter exactly how you feel about the situation. Include anything that has resulted from this situation or incident and any repercussions that have occurred since then. Take every thought that creeps into your mind and put it down on paper.

Whatever you decide to do with these letters (store them, burn them, read them or even send them), you can rest assured that all your unsettled business is now settled. All your thoughts have been faced - they won't have gone away but they have now been managed and you should feel really positive that you have taken some action.

In future make sure you 'sort' your thoughts before they get too disruptive. If you can say what you feel, say it right on the spot so that it doesn't fester. If you don't want to say it then write a letter immediately and send it. The sooner you write, the less you will have to say because you haven't had time to dwell on it and make a mountain out of a molehill. But do think before you write as, once it has been sent, it has been said!
