And it’s not any clutter. It’s all the stuff that you keep gathering year after year; all the failures and successes. There you find an overwhelming amount of stuff that holds you back. You are weighed down, not by a number, but by the stuff that claims your heart and attention.

So, how do you escape the mess you put yourself in?

Here are three practical steps to help you clear the clutter and start making mindful choices for your body:

1. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods, activities, and environments. Keep a journal to track your energy levels, digestion, mood, and other vital signs.

For example, if you notice that you feel sluggish after eating a particular type of food, consider cutting it out or reducing your intake. By fine-tuning your diet and lifestyle based on your body’s feedback, you can create a tailored approach that works best for you.

2. Prioritize You: You must take care of yourself. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. This could include activities such as meditation, journaling, exercise, spending time in nature, or simply taking a break to relax and recharge.

By investing in yourself, you not only foster a deeper connection with your body but also reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall well-being. Remember, you taking care of you is not selfish; it’s a vital component of maintaining a healthy body and mind.

3. Establish Healthy Habits: Instead of following fleeting trends or quick fixes, focus on creating sustainable and healthy habits that support your long-term well-being. This could involve meal prepping, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and finding ways to stay active that you genuinely enjoy.

By integrating these habits into your daily life, you create a solid foundation for a healthier body and a happier you.

In the end, remember that change takes time, patience, and a willingness to listen to your body’s wisdom. Embrace the journey, trust the process, and honor your body.

Clear the Clutter to Change Your Body by Kristianne Wargo

In the whispers of our bodies, lies the key,
To unlock the secrets of health and harmony.
Listen closely to its gentle plea,
For true wellness is found when we let it be.

Clear the clutter, let your body speak,
In its messages, the answers you seek.
Nurture it with care, strong and meek,
A partnership of love, pure and unique.

So as you journey through each passing day,
Remember, your body has much to say.
Listen, learn, and pave the way,
For a life of wellness, come what may.
