Last Updated: November 19, 2021 Approved

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

1
Find 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.
2
JUST LET IT GO! People have the right to happiness (of course, that also includes you!), and just letting negative experiences be bygones helps quite a lot.

3
Let your mind, body and soul influence you along the path you should walk along.
4
Start to think more positively, and feed your mind and soul with positive words, positive people and positive things. But don't bury the thoughts in your heart where they mature into hatred and contempt. Share how you feel, with someone you trust.
5
If you feel weak or angry, go for walks at sunrise/sunset and breathe in the fresh air.
6
Take 5 minutes out of everyday to just lie down and reflect.
7
Try more physical/spiritual methods to calm down, such as yoga, pilates etc.
8
Before you start working on your goals, read positive affirmations or listen to your favorite music. Do something to get your brain into a good, happy, positive mind set.
