And Rid Yourself of Toxicity and Negative Perspectives

The brain is the epicenter for all things, it’s the foundation where everything begins and ends; Thankfully the brain doesn’t just clunk out and malfunction after an overload; but things that are toxic, negative, discouraging, fearful, and hurtful can alter the way your brain operates. Diet and healthy eating also play an important role in your brain’s activity. Here are some tips to help you declutter your brain, and hopefully find relief and a sense of peace.

Start at the Source

When things appear to be foggy or too compact at times, that means it’s time for a reset. To truly declutter your brain you have to start at the source, which is the root. Ask yourself these questions: What is bothering you? Where is it coming from? When did this begin? Why do you feel the way you do? How long has this been going on? If you can answer these questions, you are on the right track to decluttering.

Unpack the Baggage

One truth in life is we all have baggage whether minute or large. To truly do some decluttering in the brain you have to unpack the past, as it is oftentimes lingering and waiting to be acknowledged. Many people don’t like therapy, but it can be a great tool to help you awaken your awareness of why you react to certain things the way you do, and how you go about your everyday life.

Sweep out the Trash

Just as you would sweep out the dirt in the kitchen, practice sweeping out the dirt in your brain. Decluttering your brain is all about cleansing the brain. Think of your brain as this magnificent thing that controls your every action, and it can’t effectively operate at its highest efficiency because there is debris and smog surrounding it. Once you clear out distractions, fear, toxicity, and any other deterrent, you will see a major difference in your brain health, attitude, and outlook on life.

Declutter the Brain with Meditation

Meditation has healing powers and relaxes the mind at the same time. When you meditate you are engaging in the innermost part of yourself. The main focus is to become one with your thoughts and nothing else matters. Practice taking 5 to 10 minutes (at first) out of your day to meditate and log your results. You should see a change in your mood, your perspective, and the way things affect you.

Unplug to Declutter the Brain

Some say social media has become the demise of our society, while others argue that it has been the most beneficial. But overuse of anything can be damaging, and social media and technology is no different. We often get caught up in the latest trends, celebrity gossip, or simply posting our every move to our audience. This is not real life. Taking a break from social media for a week every few months can impact your brain tremendously. It’s okay to unplug from the world and enjoy simply living without telling the world. Practice spending the day with yourself, or doing an activity without your phone attached to your hand at all times. Can you do it? Sure you can!

Take Life A Day At A Time

Life can move so fast and spin out of control when you put too much pressure on yourself, but you can control how you approach each day. Things only get difficult when you take on more than you can handle. So the best thing you can do is take things at a moderate pace as they come. Don’t rush anything because what’s meant for you will always reach you when it’s time. Settle in the knowledge of knowing that you lack nothing and everything for you has or will surface.

Decluttering the brain is all about putting yourself and your health first. The world can get crazy at times but that is especially when you need to sit and focus on what really matters. Don’t let the toxicity, smog, and negativity flood into your brain because it doesn’t belong there. All that does is slow you down and deter your purpose. Use each day as a means to start anew and work towards decluttering not only your brain but things that need a refresh; it could be your house, car, or even those ‘skinny jeans’ you’ve been saving to wear once you lose weight. Give them away and be a blessing to someone that can wear them now, buy yourself a new pair when the time comes. The moral of the premise is to declutter the brain so that you won’t go insane!
