SWISSE DETOX — DAY 2 | “RECHARGE”

SWISSE DETOX — DAY 2 | “RECHARGE”

Onto day two! The theme? Recharge. This is where we begin treating our minds and bodies to some robust nourishment.

Today’s Activity

Get out a paper and pen — it’s time to journal.

A gratitude journal is an incredibly powerful tool. It strengthens your relationship with your mind so that you can focus on personal growth, rather than negative thoughts (thanks, 2020). Over time it can lead to more confidence, better sleep and improved physical health.

There’s no one way to do it. You can jot down a quick list of what you're grateful for or go deeper and also explain why you’re grateful for those things. The key is to start ASAP and to make a habit of it.

Here are some prompts to get you started:

  1. How’s your life today different than it was a year ago? What positive changes are you thankful for?
  2. Think of something you have in your life, on a daily basis, that you have been taking for granted. Why are you grateful for it?
