A 30 Day "Cleanse"

My best friend Tyler and I have realized that our lives have been on the same path lately. We both recently broke up with someone we loved in search for the right life and the right happiness. Both good and bad, we are going through changes in our lives. It's nice to have someone who calls just as much as you call her and will send you 30 snap chats in a day of silly faces just to make you smile. Part of this has made us realize how much we don't focus on ourselves. Both of us are guilty of letting other people bring us down or let us question the life we are living. So on Sunday we were talking and realized it's time to start focusing on us. So that is where our 30 day cleanse came to life.

We aren't "juicing" or doing anything crazy. We both have a goal to meet every single day for 30 days and we have to share it with each other. There are three components to our goal. We have to challenge ourselves Physically, Mentally and Emotionally EVERY SINGLE DAY at least once. What does this look like? Well a physical challenge could be lifting weights, going for a walk on the beach or for a run - It means you have to sweat in some shape or form (endorphins make you happy, right?) . Mentally means you have to do something that scares you - Something you wouldn't normally do in your life. This could range from skydiving to talking to a complete stranger. For Tyler and I, the mental challenge is VERY different. For Tyler to walk up to a stranger at a restaurant to strike up a conversation is just as scares as me sitting on a park bench alone for an extended period of time. And emotionally means taking the time to love yourself - not someone else. From journaling, to bubble baths, reading a good book.

It's also been amazing having Mel and Jenn here. Last night for example, we went and got Cold Stone icecream and watched the Silver Lining. All of us, sitting on my new couch watching a movie was so relaxing and calming. It really helped me just breathe for the first time in a while. We also got to catch an amazing sunset off my new balcony - i guess right now enjoying the little things will warm my heart.
