How to: 7 Day Self Care Cleanse for Wellness Recovery

What is a Self Care Cleanse?
 

The 7 Day Self Care Cleanse:

Self-care is often related to self-love which, I use interchangeably to describe when individuals take time for themselves doing healthy methods of relaxing and or processing emotions. Self-care is the key to being able to say in the present.

AND, when you practice self-care you affirm your own importance and recharge your mind and body. I have some suggestions below if you would like to try my favorite methods for a 7-day self-care cleanse. Try it! You'll feel all good vibes, more energy, and a whole lotta PEACE!

For Funsies, I wanted to include a cool self-care article I found that shares more of a mental health point of view. Just click the button below to check it out!

Steps for your self-care cleanse:

Try 5-10 methods for 7 days in a row!

1. Cancel your social media. Avoid using Instagram, Facebook, Youtube or other social media platforms. This includes online games and phone games and apps too. Why? Because the social media and games are connected to screens which have blue-light which can alter your ability to sleep. The social media and online or phone-based games are also designed to keep you engaged for extended periods of time and can trigger higher stress levels.

2. Check email only 1-2x per day. Why? There is a dopamine kick (a chemical reaction in your brain) that your body receives after opening email or seeing social media posts and updates. This can drive repetitive behavior creating addictive behavior patterns. 

3. Meditate Daily: Aim for 5-10 minutes minimum. Meditation is key to help keep your mind refreshed and alert.

4. Ready Daily: Fuel your mind with the new. Add a new audiobook or paperback to your reading session. 

5. Exercise Daily: Exercise for 20-30 minutes every day and remember walks count.

6. Foster Quality Time: Spend time with your family and friends. Call instead of texting. Create a connection.

7. Eat Clean: Eat healthily and you will feel healthy. Find healthy treats to replace junk food cravings, then you don't have to miss out or feel that sluggish post junk food feeling.

8. Hydrate Daily: Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. The medical recommendation for daily hydration is half your body weight in ounces per day. Add 8-16 ounces if you drink caffeine.

9. Journal Daily: Clear your mind by putting your thoughts and goals on paper. You will notice improved emotional health from journaling when your feeling sad or upset because as you think and write down your thoughts, you get to process your emotions at the same time!

10. Wear Clothes that make you happy: Dress like your here to inspire yourself. When we dress down we might feel less visible. Feeling invisible can be a bummer. Wear the clothes that make you feel confident and beautiful. 

Let me know if you give this 7-Day Self Care Cleanse a try! Watch the 2 part video series below to find out how I felt before and after completing the 7 Day self-care Cleanse also known as 7DSCC.

How to Take a Spiritual Bath for Awakening, Love, Abundance, Spiritual Protection & Inner Peace

Hi Friends,

I'm sharing the benefits and method I use for taking spiritual baths. The first point I want to prioritize is that a spiritual bath is going to vary person to person as the intent of the bath may vary and require different practice and items to facilitate your spiritual bath session.

Lately for me, I have been trying to increase my personal awakening, showing love, seeing the world more abundantly, spiritual protection for my ongoing journey, and inner peace for the perfectionist flashes I still struggle with. I'm making my way and you can too if you can relate to my experience even a little bit.

My Spiritual Bath Items & What They Do-

Sage smudge stick: Using dried sage to purify the space, cleanse the air and resolve environmental and mental emotional tension. I smudge the bathroom before entering the tub. 

Healing energy crystals ( I use Rose Quartz, Aventurine, Amazonite, Apophyllite, and Obsidian): I have more detailed descriptions posted for each crystal I use over in the Wellness Lab Shop (link in menu tab) as All of the Crystals I use, I keep in stock in the Shop.

But onward for the short-hand explanation:

Healing Crystals (place in the water for best result)-

Rose Quartz: Love, vibrating love and receiving love, empathy, and kindness to others and compassion for self.

Aventurine: Abundance mindset, success, manifestation, and increased energy frequencies.

Apophyllite: Purity, cleansing, healing and spiritual cleansing.

Amazonite: Integrity, honesty, and clarity.

Obsidian: Spiritual protection, inner peace and contentment.

Spiritual bath bomb:

The spiritual bath bomb is infused with cocoa butter, detoxifying clay and essential oils that focus on spiritual awakening and self-exploration. The bath bombs also have a bit of teal color which provides "color therapy". Teal according to color therapy reflects emotional healing, self-awareness, spiritual advancement, and protection.

Candle(s): the candle's light (fire) signifies life force, chi, prana, life itself.

Bubble Bath: Relaxing luxurious fun!

You can change the items to your liking, some folks really like to add Epsom salts, oils, and flowers etc.

So what happens when taking a spiritual bath?

I take spiritual baths regularly and it's a part of my self-care self-fulfillment regimen. I strive to take them weekly. I usually spend 20-30 minutes in my spiritual bath session. During my session, I pray, meditate, or pray and meditate. My prayer and meditation usually center around finding answers to my pending questions, voicing gratitude and self-affirmation. However, each person may approach the session differently.

To see more about the process watch the video below. Be sure to comment below with any questions or please share your favorite spiritual bath routine below.

Wishing you all the best,

Brandi J.

How to Find Your Life Purpose & Live a Meaningful Happy Life!

Hello Brave Hearts,

This blog topic was brought to me by a subscriber on my Youtube Channel who was curious to know the steps and path for my work as a Clinician, Hypnotherapist, and Wellness Educator.

Finding one's purpose in life is truly an opportunity that is completely achievable with some deliberate reflection, introspection, and last but not least honesty.

My journey for life purpose took just around 2 years to completely clarify in adulthood. But the journey started the day I was born and the same is true for each individual journey for life purpose.  The accumulation of life experiences, actions, memories, thoughts and even the difficult complicated parts of life are the bread crumbs that create a useful guide to reaching that golden aha moment of clarity.

The best tip is to start by becoming present in your day, be connected authentically to your "right now real deal" life experience. You have to see the life you are living in order to know the life you are meant to live.

To start the work of identifying your life purpose ask yourself these 3 questions.

1. What task keeps resurfacing in my life?

2. What kind of work is important enough to me to do regardless of financial benefit?

3. When do I feel most in flow (creatively engaged/ in the zone)?

Once you have some guidance from answering the questions listed above, you are more prepared to use the 7 suggestions below.

7 Suggestions-

1. Write a list of favorite interests. Ask yourself what are the careers that inspire fun and happiness for you.

2. Survey 5-10 family and friends to determine what character traits of talents they recognize. Between the completed surveys from your friends and family, you will likely see a pattern emerge of possible leads for what purpose comes naturally for you.

3. Test out different possible careers by doing. You will learn whether something is a good fit by feeling in some cases.

4. Try hypnotherapy for life purpose exploration, affirmation, and clarification. Hypnotherapy sessions can be a great tool to connect with the life purpose signs that may be overlooked in the fast pace of most schedules.

5. Review some personality tests such as Meyers Brigs and other career and personality tests. These tests are excellent as they help define career paths based on individual personality traits.

6. Meditate and or pray to increase your focus around the question of purpose.  Ask yourself as you meditate, what is my purpose? What is my life's work? With time you will notice the guiding "signs" appearing throughout your day, week, and month. Meditation and prayer help your mind to orient to the information and affirmation you seek.

7. Determine what your deal breakers are, not every passionate interest is ideal for your life path. Some interests are meant to remain as interests, hobbies and past times. 

Go explore and you will find all sorts of great, interesting and priceless information!

*And remember, over time your life purpose may shift with the seasons of life and the aging process, so stay present to assess and build as time goes on.
