Happy first Monday of December!

It’s crazy that we are now in the 12th month of the year. Like I coulda promised you we just started 2017, and now we’re almost done. I know for some 2017 has been a pretty interesting year to say the least. And by interesting, I mean who knew one could take so many L’s and still be standing? (*Insert “BUT GOD” church sermon).

With that being said, I want to keep this blogpost short and sweet for you all and focus on why detoxing your mind, body, and spirit during this final month of 2017 is so important:

Refocus on God: Often, we lose focus of what really matters in life when we get down to nitty gritty. We have all these priorities, deadlines, and goals to meet and we tend to put God on the back-burner. Taking time to really put God first, and just spend time with Him can do more for you than running around like a chicken with your head cut off can do – any day.

Running on E sucks: Truly, honestly folks. No one produces anything good running on E, be it spiritually, physically, emotionally, or mentally. I think it would be very beneficial to take time to recharge and cleanse yourself from the past 11 months that have just flown by.

Hope: It can be hard to separate your current circumstance from your attitude/outlook on life – but this can be achieved with a good reboot of your system. Let’s face it – some of us took some major L’s this year, and whether that L happened yesterday or 8 months ago, it can be easy for us to stay in a funk today because of it. And sorry to break it to ya, but being hopeless about the remainder of 2017 won’t do anything, so we might as well start living in the expectation for a great ending to it!

"Me time": I know this one is hard for a lot of people – especially my extroverts who get their energy from other people. But the principle remains: it’s imperative to take time to refresh yourself and your well-being. Step away from social media for a bit, stretch a little, take some deep breaths, enjoy your getting to know yourself fully.

Realign: This detox will be your last opportunity to realign before the new year. And if we wanna be honest, we don’t have to wait until the new year to change, or start fresh. Today is your day to do that (for your physical body, mental state, and spiritual health) – so make it happ’n cap’n.

So, thanks for reading and I hope you take the time to detox little by little this month.

Peace +GLOW Always,

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

-1 Peter 5:7 NLT
