ACTIVATE YOUR PREFRONTAL CORTEX<br />

Even if you are pumped up to start the detox program, there is a chance that a certain<br />

part of your mind might dread the effort you have to invest down the line. You can prepare<br />

yourself for this by activating your prefrontal cortex.<br />

Now, we don’t need to get technical here. The idea is to train your brain to stay positive<br />

when you start the detox program, which is the key to achieving the results you expect. You<br />

have to change your thought pattern so that you don’t fixate on the detoxification.<br />

A great way to take your mind off this is by focusing on something pleasant. You can<br />

choose any number of ways to do so, including<br />

Spending time with friends<br />

Calling up a friend to have a nice chat<br />

Smelling essential oils or trying aromatherapy<br />

Taking long walks and getting close to nature<br />

Playing video games<br />

Watching your favorite shows & movies<br />

In short, any activity that you find pleasant and which takes your mind off the detox<br />

program works. You can keep your mind engaged whenever you are dealing with cravings.<br />

This way, you will be able to fight them off without the risk of giving into the temptation.<br />

LEARN TO DEAL WITH HEADACHES<br />

There are no major side effects of following a detox program. Among the common<br />

occurrences is a headache. You might experience one during the initial stages, because<br />

toxins are escaping your mind and body, and also affect the sensitive tissues within your<br />

systems.<br />

You can overcome headaches using peppermint essential oil. All you need to do is apply<br />

a few drops of oil behind your neck or on your temples. After this, lie down in your room,<br />

turning the lights off.<br />
