Self-care<\/strong> is part of my daily life.\u00a0 Practicing self-care develops personal happiness.\u00a0 It honors a balance between personal life and career.<\/p>\n

Self-care offers things that are important in daily life.\u00a0\u00a0But, that’s not all.\u00a0 Self-care activities diminish burnout, stress, and fatigue.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, I review my physical, mental, and spiritual toxicity to boost my self-care agenda.\u00a0 Actually, a toxicity review<\/strong> is good for everyone, whether or not self-care is the issue.<\/p>\n

To pamper myself, I’ll declare a detox week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Your body continually self-cleans.\u00a0 But, sometimes this process needs a focus and boost because of the hordes of chemicals confronting the liver, lungs, kidneys, fat cells, intestines, bloodstream, and skin.<\/p>\n

Toxins come in many forms:\u00a0 too much sugar, caffeine, and processed foods.<\/p>\n

They also invade us through pesticides in the produce we eat, formaldehyde in carpets and cosmetics, plastics, and paper products.<\/p>\n

I’ll start off a detox week with a water flush, <\/strong>drinking filtered water to cleanse my tissues. (I normally drink filtered water but, with\u00a0 a detox week, I’ll add a variety of waters which I get at the health food store.\u00a0 I also drink some of the Saratoga Springs Waters.)\u00a0 And, I’ll alternate my water with herbal teas<\/strong> to support my liver, lymphatic system, bowels, urinary tract and skin.<\/p>\n

DRINK 8 GLASSES OF WATER<\/strong><\/p>\n

DRINK 2 CUPS OF HERBAL TEA<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a fresh-air<\/strong> treat<\/strong>, I go to my local garden center and buy a new plant to help detox my home.\u00a0 I love ferns. Truthfully, I love any plant that I can grow.\u00a0 I started growing houseplants during the pandemic.\u00a0 I definitely don’t have a green thumb but I’ve managed to collect plants which are surviving in my home.\u00a0 The oxygen they produce is important.<\/p>\n

GET A PLANT FOR FRESH AIR<\/strong><\/p>\n

My detox week includes a daily cleansing walk,<\/strong> \u00a0a short 20-30 minute walk I take in my neighborhood to breathe fresh air and enjoy my community.<\/p>\n

TAKE A 20-MINUTE WALK<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I include breathing properly to dispel toxins and wastes.\u00a0 <\/strong>When I celebrate a detox week, I set aside time each day to practice deep, slow, rhythmic breathing.\u00a0 This clears my mind, lifts my energy, and boosts my mood.<\/p>\n

TAKE 10<\/strong> CLEANSING BREATHS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SCHEDULE A WEEKLY REIKI OR REFLEXOLOGY SESSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reiki and Reflexology work well with a detox week.\u00a0 Include one session for the week or, if time permits, include a daily session.<\/p>\n

S<\/strong>ARATOGA SPRINGS STATE PARK\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

PS –\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Because I live in the Hudson Valley of New York, I’m close enough to Saratoga Springs to benefit from the many mineral springs located throughout the Saratoga State Park.\u00a0 If you ever get the chance to visit this area, just north of Albany, be sure to visit a few of the springs.\u00a0 Maps are available as well as descriptions of the waters found at each one.<\/p>\n

Tours of the springs are scheduled regularly.\u00a0 Join in the fun if you are in the area!<\/p>\n
