I can’t believe it! It’s almost October again or as I call it DETOXober. For the last five years I have used the month of October to detox my body. The first time I tried it I found it quite uncomfortable. Some would say that was because I had 50 odd years worth of toxins to get rid of.

 I went into the full detox diet which included no sugar, chocolate, fruit, bread, potatoes, alcohol, cakes, any foods containing gluten, butter, milk, tea other than green or white. I kept it up for the full month and lost ten pounds in weight. My blood pressure returned to that of a 20 years old and my pulse went down really low.

The first week was tough, headaches and pains were unpleasant to say the least. Cravings for booze and chocs were high. Then by week two I started to feel good. After the month I felt so good that I cannot understand how and why I allow myself to go back to my old ways. But I did and have done every year for five years. Each year I detox for October lose 5-10 pounds and then return to normal life.

This year I want to try something different, a life detox. Not only will October mean a dietry detox but also I will detox the 5 most important areas of my life. Relationships, Health, Home, Work,  Money.

I am in the process of setting up a mind map that will help me to take control of the BIG DETOX. Just some ideas in each area are such as :-

Relationships, Remove any areas that plague my relationships by tackling them with good communication.

Health, Stick to the diet and complete a balanced exercise plan which will be recorded in a comprehensive training diary.

Home, Clear my attic using my Chu Cha Che system (Chuck,Charity Cherish)

Work, Commence a huge detox of my computer using the above system

Money, Completely overhaul my accounting systems and remove areas of spending that do not serve me well.

It would be good to have some support and I thought about forming a small group of like minded people who can use the internet to keep each other on track. If you are interested contact me on nigel@c-options.co.uk.
