The frustration, the uncertainty<\/strong>, anger, stress or fear are natural emotions that are part of life, but if they are not managed correctly, they generate a deep malaise<\/strong> that prevents us from improving and moving forward. As Dr. Cinthya Molina, psychologist at SHA, tells us, “the emotional detox consists<\/strong> of doing a cognitive and psychological cleansing, eliminating everything that negatively affects us. At present, a large group of society is concerned with following a healthy diet<\/strong> and balanced diet, avoiding ultra-processed foods and preservatives, dyes and additives that are harmful to health. However, this concern is not usually transferred to the field of mental health<\/strong> and we consume many emotional toxins, <\/strong>daily, that keeps us from an optimal state of well-being\u201d.<\/p>\n Being regularly exposed to toxic people and environments and negative thoughts<\/strong> is the emotional version of an unhealthy diet, rich in sugars and refined flours, alcohol or fats of animal origin. That is, little by little, they are undermining health<\/strong>. As Molina affirms, \u201cthe accumulation of these negative elements causes, over time, emotional intoxication. The first step in doing a detoxification process is to be aware of everything that causes discomfort<\/strong>. Of course, it is a widespread mistake to think that mental health depends only on external factors. In fact, sometimes the individual himself is his greatest source of toxicity<\/strong> because we are usually the cruelest judge, and we become our own worst enemy. This is due to the inner voice<\/strong>, that voice that never goes out, that criticism<\/strong>, who disapproves of our behavior – who constantly reminds us of what we have done wrong or that situation in which we were not up to it. In short, a voice that\u00a0generates anxiety, depression and anger. Therefore, it is essential to calm that inner dialogue<\/strong> because how we talk to ourselves has a direct impact on how we expect others to talk to us, and how we allow them to do so.<\/p>\n
