We’re already up to Day 4 of our Ex-Free bootcamp, how is it going so far =) It’s talk about cleansing your body!
Staying fit and healthy is important to maintain stress free and happy. Here are some ways of cleansing your body and ridding yourself of headaches, stress, negativity and depression.
Soak in a hot tub, exercise, do yoga, meditate, read a good book, play with your pets and listening to good music are some ways you can rid yourself of negativity.
You don’t have to do anything too difficult in terms of exercise, just a simple jog to the supermarket, walk your dog for an hour or do some sit-ups 20 mins before bed; doesn’t have to be long if you’re not used to doing it.
Medication is another good example, put on some relaxing music, turn it down a bit and go to a quiet spot in the house. Sit in a comfortable way but with your back straight. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. You should inhale through your nose; exhale through your mouth) in the ratio of 1:4:2
Inhale for 1 count, Hold for 4 counts, Exhale for 2 counts
So for example: If you inhale for 3 seconds, you would hold for 12 seconds and exhale for 6 seconds.
You can do this breathing exercise 3 times a day, this will clear your mind and cleanse your body.
Now apart from exercising, we need to watch what we put into our bodies too.

16 Ways To Eat Healthy For The Cheap
Remember to drink a lot of water and start eating things like vegetables and fruit, salads are great (my favourite) but also remember to eat fatty meat too! Fat is good for you, its excess calories that isn’t.

Breathing exercises are awesome. I also do lots of walking. In the summer I tend to walk anywhere from 25-55KMS a week. It’s amazing how such simple, and frugal, exercise can really make a huge difference in one’s life. Eating right on the cheap is key.
