Social Media and Juice Detox Day 1

 

It’s 9.20pm and I am sitting here sipping my last juice for today.
I’ve done it, survived on the following today

  •  7am              Peppermint Tea
  • 9am               Blood Builder Juice
  • 10am             Green Tea with Jasmine
  • 12pm             Kick Starter Juice
  • 1.30pm         Peppermint Tea
  • 3pm              Bone Builder Juice
  • 4.30pm         Peppermint Tea
  • 6pm               Natural Energiser Juice
  • 7.40pm         Peppermint Tea
  • 9.20pm         Natures Blend Juice

Why?
Because today I started a 3-day detox in which I drink 5 handmade bespoke juices each day and no other food! Incidentally I also started a social media detox at the same time. I am doing this to cleanse my body, mind and spirit and hopefully emerge even more focused, energised and well at the end of the week. You can see a short video that I made this morning about how I prepared for this challenge, I will be posting a video each day.
So have I been tempted?
Oh yes, those wicked food smells are everywhere. I met a colleague in a café this morning, and the aroma of the delicious vegetarian organic breakfasts and home made cakes wafted over to me, but I resisted while defiantly sipping my tea. Then I cooked dinner for family, I nearly popped a crafty carrot in my mouth, just to have something to chew, but I didn’t! I am missing that feeling of being full, that contented feeling in my tummy, which is probably really bad for me and means that I eat until I am over full.  I have a suspicion that I’ll be retiring to bed early tonight, just in case the rumbles start and I crack under the pressure.
To be honest the juice detox has been easier then the social media,  life has been quieter today without it. The constant hum you have in the office from your colleagues chattering is what social media delivers from me, it’s background noise, a welcome distraction an excuse for my mind to wander.  A big realisation for me today is that I form thoughts in tweets; constantly shaping 140 characters to go out in the world.
What’s been good about today?

  • I walked to my meeting and back, I had the time, because I didn’t check my social media.
  • I have been really present and not distracted when others have spoken to me and felt the benefit of these positive interactions.
  • I stuck to it, proving to myself that I have willpower.
  • The juices tasted delicious

So far, so good, let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Testimonials

“A rare and powerful book covering an immensely important subject in a personal, practical and very moving way. I was inspired by reading it and left breathless by the achievements of the author and the women whose stories she tells.”

Dr Ann Limb OBE DL
South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership

“This is a well researched book, that I think will meet a real need, the practical exercises are welcomed, much better than just a pile of theory. Perfect for those women struggling with being breadwinner.”

Heather McGregor
Careers Advice for Ambitious Women

“A series of interactive transformative exercises drawing from the world of coaching and psychology will support personal and professional development for all individuals. Jenny has a great writing voice and has bought a human touch to a taboo subject with great sensitivity and creativity.”

Philip Whiteley
Business author

“From the moment I started reading Rocking Your Role I was totally absorbed, recognising so many of the issues that Jenny refers to within this clearly written and practical book. She takes the reader on a journey which makes you question so many things about yourself but in a way that energises you to step back and think about your work life balance, and the importance of being honest with yourself and those around you. It will resonate with successful women, especially those who are the female breadwinners, in all areas of life.”

Pim Baxter
National Portrait Gallery

“Reading this book lifted the clouds of expectations, guilt, imaginary limitations …. it liberated me to pursue my own personal dreams while still providing for my family.”

Nadine Juignet
Hewlett Packard

“Jenny Garrett charts the rise of the female main earner (ME) in her highly engaging exploration of female breadwinners. That a fifth of women in the UK now earn more than their partners is significant, yet we hear little about this. Garrett’s book illustrates why this is something we should celebrate, and yet we are resistant to do so.This book is an invaluable and inspiring source for those who will, either through choice or by chance, embark on this exciting route. She offers advice and space to reflect and challenges one of the modern day taboos.”
