I don’t really believe in starting off the New Year with insane health goals. But I do believe in the excitement around a new time that can motivate you to be healthier and be a better you. I would never push for crazy diets or starting to overdo it on your work outs, but I do think we can all take a step to cleanse this year. It’s a great time to Marie Kondo your life and only hold onto things that spark joy!
- Go through your phone contacts
I had a lot of people in my phone that I haven’t spoken to in over 4 years or never really spoke to in the first place. I cleaned out my contacts mostly because I have a great fear of butt dialing random people, but also because it was time to just clear out the negative people and people who don’t add to my life. - Clear the cupboards
I don’t think anyone should diet, but I do think everyone should evaluate what they’re eating and make lifestyle changes. I unfortunately work in a field where I see people pass away from preventable illnesses, I’m now trying to focus on what I eat just for my long term health and wellness. - Donate old clothes
Let it gooooooo! I’ve actually been doing this bi-monthly. I’m at a point in my life where my style is changing. When I buy something new (actually I usually buy second-hand) I throw something in the donate pile. I don’t need an overflowing closet for any reason. - Spring cleaning in winter
Have you done a full vacuum of your house or dusting or cleaning all your sheets and blankets? Sometimes we put these things off until spring, but it feels SO good to have a fully clean house, so why not do it every season? - Skin care routine
Do you have a skin care routine? I don’t really, but I’m working on it. I’m becoming very aware of how old I am and therefore I’m aware of what my skin may look like in 10 or 20 years. I am trying to cleanse my skin and create a skin care routine that works for me!

I love the energetic urge to de-clutter and clear out when the New Year rolls around. It’s great to be able to start fresh.

Me too! I was like I don’t know where all this weird energy came from but I know it won’t be around long so I need to take advantage of it

I definitely need to clear out my phone contacts. I still have names in there of clients that I worked with 7 years ago… that I haven’t spoken to for any reason in 7 years.

I’m going through the exact same thing with my style! It’s changing so fast that I feel like every time I look in my closet I have more and more to get rid of!

These are some great, practical tips! I like how many of them focus on the mental aspect of cleansing. When I read the title, I was thinking more along the lines of detox teas and whatnot 😂 What I found instead was a list that I will start implementing in my own life. Thank you!
The phone contacts resonated with me a lot – I have such a hard time deleting numbers because I feel like it’s a metaphor for deleting the person from my life.

It is always so cathartic when one de-clutters! A great way to start off the year.
