How to Detox When You Work Full Time

How to Detox When You Work Full Time With all of the impurities that we expose ourselves to on a daily basis, detoxing is a crucial means of keeping our bodies and minds clean, clear and in balance. Since the detoxification process requires focus, most recommend that you only do it when you are completely undistracted. Unfortunately, most of us cannot take a week off from work to detox, meditate and get back on track. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to detox while working a full time job.   But it does indicate that you’re going to have to closely manage your progress as you continue to work. Drinking a gentle detox tea while you are in the workplace can definitely help you, but read on for some further advice. Getting Mentally Prepared The goal of detoxing is to rid your body of everything bad, from the inside out. As such, you won’t be eating much, if any, food, which can cause the body to go through shock as your caloric intake drops substantially. Albeit a little unorthodox, the act of detoxing actually gives the digestive system a much needed break. It takes a lot of energy to break down even the simplest of foods.  So if you stop putting food into your system, your body can heal, release toxins and help to rejuvenate your vital organs. After you fully understand that detoxing while maintaining full time employment will be hard, you can get into the right headspace. Choosing a Start Date The first couple of days of your detox are going to be especially rough. So while most people like to get a fresh start to the work week, you might want to hold off on starting your detox until the weekend. Give yourself a few days to get acclimated to the changes that your body will be going through before you attempt to continue your detox while at work. Ideally, you should start your detox plan during an extended weekend or when you will have a few days off from work consecutively. Redirecting Your Mind During the course of your detox, you might experience strange thoughts as well as frequently shifting emotions. More often than not, people actively detoxing can feel like giving up intermittently, even when they know and understand the benefits of what they are doing. This is simply the human body’s response to a continued lack of food. You might get cravings for foods that you had long sworn off, or suddenly feel like having a bite to eat here or there won’t do any harm. When your mind starts to run in the opposite direction, take a breath and redirect your energy toward a positive outcome. At the end of a successful detox, the very first thing you should notice is how your energy levels have improved. Clearer skin, more comfortable bowel movements and a proclivity to eat cleaner are also common detox results. You may not think it will be possible for you to get through your detox while working a full time job, but adequate planning can help you to manage completely reasonable expectations. See if your job will help to accommodate your efforts by putting you on light duty or extending the deadline for a project that you’re responsible for while cleaning your body of its internal impurities.
