7 cleanse habits I’ve kept (thus far)

1. Daily probiotic (either pill or drink) plus a large glass of water upon waking.

2. Morning yoga: it takes me less than 10 minutes and it’s a nice daily warm-up (will post a step-by-step tomorrow).

3. AM ‘super foods’ shake: I’ve been making the same shake every day for two months and counting. I think it can now be called a “habit” (will post my recipe next week).

4. Limited intake of beef, pork, wheat and sugar, for the most part.

5. Room-temperature water (not ice cold anymore) in copious amounts.

6. Not eating ANYTHING after 7pm (the only exception is if we’re at a party).

7. Nightly body brushing and slathering with virgin coconut oil (see my previous post on this).

The CLEAN cleanse officially ended over a month ago and I thought I’d give an update on which New Year’s resolutions/habits I’ve been able to keep. This list represents the most significant changes I’ve noticed. Overall, I feel healthier, sleep better and have considerably higher energy levels than before.

Work-wise and volunteer-wise, I am handling more projects simultaneously than I can ever remember. Not that this is necessarily a good thing, but my focus and effectiveness are way up. I just need to scale back a bit on extra commitments in order to tackle some long delayed personal projects (like de-cluttering our house… yeah!).

I will try to post on the above items in more depth in the near future… stay tuned!
