• Eat soaked,sprouted,fermented and probiotic foods! eg: Kombucha, Nuts and Sprouts.

• Cut out processed meat,sugar, wheat and dairy. Right NOW...Okay atleast start to experiment by eliminating them.
• Drink more  water, Trust me you will see a sea of difference in your skin once you start practicing drinking more H20. Better yet set a timer for multiple times a day if you think you can forget drinking while being immersed in work. 
• Stress, Stress, Stress...It is a part of life, everyone has to deal with it, But what you can do with it is to stretch, do yoga ( My drug, My obsession) , practice mediation in quiet for atleast 10 minutes daily and breathe...so many of us forget this activity...Just be still and breathe and see the MAGIC.....literally! 
• Walk outside...barefeet on grass...extremely relaxing..just 10 minutes a day...and laugh everyday...Hahahahahahahaahahhahahaha!
• Get minimum 8 hrs of sleep everyday and go to sleep and get up at the same time to signal your body your intention. NO screen time like checking your IG, FB feed one last time...NOOO...Every device on airplane mode...Landline is still there just in case anyone needs you in the middle of the night.
• Think positive, have the half glass FULL perspective, get away from negative toxic environment, Immerse yourself in positive thoughts and emotions and read books by authors that transport you in a different world altogether!

• And lastly, if you know me well enough, which I guess you do if you happen to read this post, I am a die hard green smoothie guzzler, Don't forget to include atleast one glass to vegetable and fruit smoothie as part of a SUPERCHARGED lifestyle!
