Over time, our life experiences tend to build up and create unwanted clutter in our minds. Negative seeds are planted and they begin to grow and get stronger as time passes. If you're interested in decluttering your mind so you can focus on more positive thoughts, this article can help. We'll show you how to detox your mind so you get rid of negative energy and create more space for positivity.
Steps

1Find faith in yourself. It is a good idea to get to know yourself above all. Forget about outside forces, pay attention to your life and your situation.
