Back to school cleansing!

I always love a little "spring-cleaning" before heading back to school. This year, however, proved to be a bit different than what I've become accustomed to. My cleaning has been more about making myself happier--getting rid of the negatives (not materialistic). If you're ready to cleanse yourself of the toxic environment here's a few tips I've been utilizing!


1. Clear out Facebook/Twitter/social media "friends"
    • If the only thing you see on a social media site (which we all know you look at daily) is negative comments and Debbie Downers, get rid of those people! You'll be amazed at how good you feel once you know it's only positive friends online and your mood will probably increase as your "friends" decrease :)

2. Make a new playlist
    • Music drastically helps/hinders my mood. As I'm ready to start fresh, new music helps me with my new life perspective. Try something different and stray away from the 'usual'. You'd be surprised how much you like an artist you've never heard of before!

3. Surround yourself with positive people
    • Everyone usually has that one person in their life who brings you down. Whether it be an ex or a friend, try to distance yourself from them. You'll really realize how much harm they were doing to your self-esteem and mood!

4. Create a new atmosphere
    • Lately, I have been finding great quotes and powerful messages that really produce a positive Ora. Whether you write on your mirror, place post-its with fun quotes around your room, or set a new phone background...it'll be sure to give you a great start to your day! 

5. List qualities you love about yourself
    • This is the hardest for me because I'm my toughest critic. But find 5 qualities you love about yourself. If you can't, ask a friend or family member what they love about you. Focus on those positives instead of dwelling on the negatives!


A few small changes can add up to make a BIG difference. So as you're ready to tackle on a change or new beginning, use these steps to do some "spring-cleaning"!
