Taking care of yourself is a big deal! Follow our fun 14-day challenge focusing on physical, mental, social, and practical self care. Post pictures of your journey on social media using #HealthNet14daychallenge!
Day 1: Let’s start detoxifying your body! Before you start your day, make a lemon water detox drink! All you need is to squeeze ½ of a lemon, into an 8 oz cup of warm water. [1]
This will help your immune system, your liver, your skin, and even your breath!
Day 2: Take time to go down memory lane and create the music playlist of your life. Use this playlist to help you clean the house.
Day 3: Dress up or add something to your outfit that you usually don’t.
Day 4: Sit down and think about your health. Is there anything you need to see a doctor for? Visit www.indyhealthnet.org to make an appointment!
Day 5: Take time out to stretch out your body. Find a video online, or fitness class to help guide you. Most fitness studios offer free introduction classes!
Day 6: Take a trip to the grocery store and complete this mini scavenger hunt for healthy food alternatives! Try to find:
- 1 Organic fruit
- 1 Vegan alternative
- 1 Non-GMO product
- 1 Gluten free product
Now bring home the food product that you’ll think taste best!
Day 7: We’re bringing back the lemons! This time we will use lemon to make a Honey Lemon Facial Mask. Just mix ½ of a lemon and 1 tbsp of honey in a bowl. Spread the mixture across your face (avoid your eyes) and leave it on for 15-30 minutes.
This will help you keep your skin moisturized and clear of acne and blackheads. [2]
Day 8: Tonight go to bed an hour earlier than you usually do. Try not to use technology at least 15 minutes before bed. This will help your mind relax.
Day 9: Take a stroll in a new and safe environment.
Day 10: Take time to clean out your emails or delete unnecessary pictures in your phone. Less clutter may help your mind feel better!
