Unbox the Detox, Stop the MUSTerbation, and Start Sliving, Babe!

While it’s important to have focused life goals and work towards achieving them, it becomes problematic when we approach vision boards and to-do lists as “must-haves” or “have-to” obligations, leading to what is referred to as “MUSTerbation.”

Filling our lives with endless “MUSTerbations” can result in anxiety, depression, and various other mental health issues. Dr. Albert Ellis, Ph.D., the father of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), defines the emotional and mental strain caused by these “must-haves” as MUSTerbation.

Before getting trapped in the cycle of “MUSTerbations,” it’s time to detox and rediscover the enjoyment of slaying both our personal and professional lives. Let’s start “Sliving,” a combination of slaying and living, babe.

A successful detox involves cleansing the body, recalibrating the mind, balancing emotions, and synergizing energies.

Let’s Begin the Detox:

1. Cleansing the Body: Adopting an anti-inflammatory and low-carb lifestyle is the fastest way to rest and detoxify the body. This approach helps break carb addiction and reset our gut mycobiome.
2. Recalibrating the Mind: Being fully present in the moment and letting go of fear and regret creates emotional balance. Meditation, contemplation techniques, and gratitude journaling can help recalibrate the mind and enhance mental fitness.
3. Balancing Emotions: Consciously recognizing our triggers and developing strategies to reduce or change our responses can help achieve emotional balance. “Nighttime Review” journaling is a helpful practice that allows us to identify triggers, evaluate our responses to these emotions, and develop effective ways to respond if triggered again.
4. Synergizing Energies: Maintaining a positive energy flow throughout our body and life improves overall health and wellness. Managing our Chi, Prana, or Aura creates an environment for our body and mind to thrive. Simple exercises and breathing techniques found in practices like Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pranayama fuel positive energy.

By embracing this detox, we can free ourselves from the pressures of “MUSTerbations” and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life. Let’s unbox the detox, slay our goals, and truly enjoy living, babe.
