Here are 3 quick tips to design your own detox.

(1) Align your Detox. Your detox isn’t about bootcamp. However, it may be about embracing austerities to cultivate discipline for higher goals. Your detox isn’t about deprivation. However, your detox may be about stirring up true hunger and experiencing deep satiation. Get clear about what you’re after.

(2) Choose Your influences When you design your detox, choose your influences. I chose to be influenced by these people for the Spring 2012 Yogidetox season.

(3) Find a buddy. The buddy-system is for accountability. Otherwise, you might forget your higher aspirations halfway through, and indulge instead of abstain. Aside from derailment, the buddy system is actually about amplification. Having a buddy (or a household, or a posse) to detox with uplevels you into community-based health evolution. From there, it’s a whole new ballgame.
