Biting your own toe

Biting your own toe

It's time to boost my energy for autumn! During my Detox Light, I not only focus on diet, but I also make sure that movement, meditation and sleep are priorities. Every day for 3 weeks, the following is on the schedule:

Movement: 30 min

Meditation: 15 min

Sleep: 8 h

I do not specify the type of movement or meditation or when during the day this is done. I try to listen to the body and adapt to the mood of the day. A detox should not be too difficult, because then it is easy to give up.

Sleep is extremely important. I hope to find my way back to where I was before. When I simply lie down, fall asleep and then wake up refreshed after 8 hours of sleep. It sounds so easy, but unfortunately it's usually the sleep that gives way when there's a lot to do. Unfortunately, you only bite your toe when you do that!

Thought of the day:

How efficient and smart are you when you've not prioritized sleep for a while?

This article is part of The 50 day challenge, where I challenge myself to write an article a day for 50 days! The articles can be about anything, short or long, but I can't miss a single day!

With love, Johanna.
