I am a huge fan of doing a cleanse twice a year that detoxifies my body from all the crap I have been feeding it over time and thus has accumulated in the form of toxins along my intestinal walls (yikes!). 7 days of only vegetables & fruit, no coffee, sugar, alcohol, carbs, dairy and meat do wonders for your physical system. Your digestion is finally working properly again, you feel lighter and more energised and on top, you have most likely eliminated any cravings and completely reset your hunger feeling. It’s a great concept: take a few days to remove the built-up crap so your body is ready to take on life (and burgers) again.
But the reality is: not only your body is full of toxins, your entire life is. Your inbox is spamming you with crap and your phone with notifications, the clutter in your closet, kitchen and bathroom are subconsciously cluttering your mind and in your free time you spend time doing activities that you don’t enjoy — with people that are toxic. This might sound a little exaggerated but even if you are a highly accomplished minimalist, chances are you have at least a few habits and negative thought patterns that are toxic for your mind & soul.
