Here’s Day Eleven!
How have you found the first ten days?
Well done for coming this far, we’re almost half way through now! Go YOU!
Day Eleven (Thursday):
1. Out with gluten, processed sugars, sweeteners, alcohol and fizzy drinks
2. Meditate for 10 mins a day (do a guided meditation if you’re new to this)
3. Drink at least 2.5 litres of water a day
4. Do 20 seconds of planking
5. Pick another drawer or cupboard to de-clutter, use the natural vinegar solution (mentioned in day two) as a cleaner rather than any toxic chemicals.
6. Note 20 things you are grateful for in your gratitude pad.
7. Increase the amount of steps or length of time you walk today by 5% from the previous day’s total.
8. Take a daily probiotic
9. Eat 7 fruit or vegetables a day (preferably raw for optimum nutrition) and include flax, chia and hemps seeds into you diet.
10. Make sure you have breakfast within a hour of getting up and don’t skip meals, make sure to eat something (if only something little) every 3-4hrs.
11. Reduce your caffeine intake by 50%, or replace it with green tea.
12. Watch at least one inspirational or motivational video each day.
13. Have at least one smoothie or a juice every day (the choice is yours which one), but make sure it has some veggies in as well as fruit.
14. Swap brown carbohydrates for the white ones.
15. Daily body brush.
16. Get off the bus a stop early or park your car at the wrong side of the car-park to your destination.
17. Replace unhealthy trans fats with coconut or olive oil.
18. Introduce a 10 minute yoga, pilates, tai-chi or Qi Gong routine to three days of your week.
New For Day Eleven:
19. Try not to say negative things about yourself, either out loud or in your own head. If you find that you’re being negative then say something positive to try to balance it out. If you feel frustrated then take a couple of deep breaths and try and say something far more positive if you’re still feeling the need to berate yourself. The way we talk to ourselves has a massive impact on our self image and self belief, so try to be kind and see what a difference it makes.
20. Introduce some superfoods into your daily diet. Items like blueberries, oily fish, spinach, pistachio nuts, peppers, quinoa, brown rice, avocados, garlic, goji berries, broccoli, lentils, apples, sweet potatoes and watercress are all super foods and should be included in your diet for optimum health.
That’s it for Day Eleven!
See you for Day Twelve tomorrow =0)
