6 EASY WAYS TO DE-CLUTTER YOUR LIFE THIS SPRING!
As we bid winter goodbye, we should do away with some habits/things that are no longer serving us. Spring signifies new beginnings. And now is the perfect time to say "out with the gloom, in with the bloom."
The burden of the Corona Virus, coupled with an economic crisis and the dynamic nature of our fast-paced lives, can have debilitating effects on our mental and physical health. It is easy to get swallowed into the cycle of hustling and bustling, but have you thought of letting your hair down for a minute?
This season is a perfect time for spring cleaning, so we're proposing that you go the extra mile to spring clean your life. See it as a much-needed detox for your body, mind, and spirit.
How to spring clean your life.
For a fresh start this period, you'll need an all-around clean-up, from your personal space to your beauty stash.
Here's how to deal;
Rev up your Beauty stash:
Skincare
If you have not made a switch from products filled with chemicals that you can hardly pronounce to products with natural ingredients, you have to start now. Ditch any chemical-laden product that can damage your skin barrier and cause skin irritations. Replace with a gentle, effective, and safe brand with an organic line up like ours.
Makeup
Makeup products that have been sitting on the shelf for more than six months should be discarded.
Beauty Tools
Clean your beauty tools regularly to stop the breeding of bacteria that can cause acne: makeup brushes, sponges, containers, cloths, and any facial equipment.
Spruce Up your personal space
If there's anything you don't use occasionally, that's taking up too much space, and you'll have to let it go. Mess and clutter in your immediate environment can trigger stress. Sanitize your personal space for optimum wellness. Recycle materials such as bottles, jars, and containers to reduce wastes that can affect the environment.
Rearrange your wardrobe, and give away clothing and shoes that you no longer need.
Settle for some "Me" time.
We know it sounds cliche and maybe selfish to say put yourself first. Real talk - you need to take care of yourself. Escape from the rigors of your career, business, and lifestyle to clean up your mind. Engage in yoga or meditation. Immersing in a tub with bath salts is also a great mood booster.
Take a break from technology.
Technology has its gains and its pains. It's easy to get addicted to using your mobile phones and laptops. Springtime is an ideal time to curb distractions and seek fun in offline activities. Start your digital detox by participating in sports to keep your heart healthy.
Healthy Lifestyle
A deep cleanse this season isn't complete without a lifestyle overhaul. Consume healthy diets, exercise regularly and go to bed early. Practice cooking at home - it is therapeutic, healthier, and cost-effective. Walk for 30 minutes daily to get your feel-good hormones, endorphins pumping.
Kick Negativity and Bad energy to the curb
If you are in any form of relationship that isn't making you happy or feel fulfilled, cut ties with them. Hit the unfriend or unfollow button immediately. The same applies to emails, updates, and messages that are not beneficial to your well-being. Delete messages or Unsubscribe from the mailing lists.
Many areas of our lives could use a facelift right now and in the coming months. Take little steps to shape up your life, and you'd be proud of the positive changes you see in a little while.
