My Body Detox Secrets On Self-Care

Self-Care Secret #11: Figure out your perfect breakfast foods.

Many of my clients come to me complaining of low energy, fatigue through the day, weight gain, bloating, cravings – all kinds of yucky things!

One of the first things I do with all of my clients is what I call the breakfast experiment.

Interestingly, many women are setting themselves up for blood sugar disaster by eating yogurt, granola, cereal and other ‘health’ foods for breakfast.

The fact is that these common breakfast items are actually very high in sugar and cause your blood sugar to spike quickly. When this happens first thing in the morning, you’re setting yourself up for a day of cravings and energy dips.

Instead, spend a week figuring out YOUR perfect breakfast. Eat something different each morning and track what happens through your day.

Try different options like yogurt one day, eggs another, a protein smoothie, toast with almond butter, even half a chicken breast if you’re up for it.

Keep an eye on your energy levels throughout the day and you’ll get clear on what you need in the morning to stay focused and strong all day long.

And don’t be surprised if your perfect breakfast is something non-traditional – it’s all about finding what’s right for you!

Self-Care Secret #12: Instead of the obstacle, find the opportunity.

This mindset shift can save you years of heartache and pain. Everyone has obstacles they face, and it’s hard to argue who is having a tougher experience when it comes to suffering and struggles.

However, even in the most painful moments, there’s a lesson to be learned – the opportunity within the obstacle.

Sometimes the opportunities of these body detox secrets are easy to find, other times it can take time and patience to truly understand.

Trust that there ALWAYS is an opportunity presented along with every obstacle and you’ll find that you move through the challenges in your life much more quickly and smoothly. 

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

– Winston Churchill

Self-Care Secret #13: Find a way to make healthy living part of your journey, not your destination.

Being healthy is not a destination; instead, it’s a way of life.

In fact, the most surefire way to be healthy is to make healthy choices part of your life, rather than something you do only some of the time or only do in order to reach a specific goal.

However, this doesn’t mean you need to change everything overnight.

In fact, I’ve found the best way to make lasting change when it comes to healthier living is to take it week by week. Each week, decide on ONE thing (and only one) that you can do to be healthier that week.

Is it drinking more water? Finding your perfect breakfast?

Making sure that half your plate is full of vegetables at lunch and dinner?

When you pick up one good habit each week (or drop one bad one), at the end of the year you’ve made 52 changes toward living a healthier life.

Now that really adds up in body detox secrets! 

Self-Care Secret #14: Get back to the basics to find your GLOW.

Instead of overhauling your whole life and making drastic changes to get into your glow, what would happen if you went back to the basics and took it one step at a time?

Remember, you can’t just flip a switch and have everything be different. Finding your glow and taking really good care of yourself is a process.

Start keeping track of when you feel great, and when you get stuck.

Can you find patterns of what knocks you out of your glow?

Identifying what puts you outside of your glow zone is the first step to getting really good at getting back into your glow in the shortest amount of time possible.

Once you’ve gotten clear about this, ask yourself: what is the most basic step I can take to get back into my glow?

Over time, this reaction will get faster and faster.

Every journey begins with a single step – take some time to explore what your first steps could be.

Self-Care Secret #5: Stock your pantry to prevent fas food and takeout runs.

Curried salmon, cucumber in lettuce cup

A well-stocked pantry is one of my top tips for my clients. This is one of my best body detox secrets opinion.

Having food at home and ready to go makes it so much easier to stick to your healthy eating plan, especially when you know you always have something that will taste good, satisfy your cravings and doesn't take long to prepare.

• A can of wild salmon quickly turns into a curried salmon salad to be eaten on crackers or on a big green salad.

• Sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, garbanzo beans and olives can be mixed into quinoa for a Mediterranean-style salad.

Each week when you go to the grocery store, buy a few things that you know you can use to make a quick dinner for those nights when you're tired and you want something that can be pulled together quickly.

If you do this, you won't have to rely on fast food or takeout anymore.

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.
