A Simple Three‑Day Reset:
Clear Your Plate, Your Mind, and Your Space
Why Try a Three‑Day Reset?
Life can pile up. Fast food, endless scrolling, cluttered rooms, and even people who leave you
drained. Stepping back for just three days can give your body a break and your mind a fresh
start. This plan skips processed foods, turns down screen time, trims clutter, and sets gentle
limits with negative people. In their place you’ll add easy movement, calm breathing, short
walks outside, and simple stretches that help your muscles and mood loosen up.
Think of it as hitting the “refresh” button on every part of life without needing a fancy retreat
or expensive gear.
How to Use This Guide
Each day has food tips, phone‑free moments, light exercise, and a quick journal or
reflection idea.
Swap anything that doesn’t fit your schedule. The spirit of the reset is more important
than strict rules.
Drink plenty of water—aim for eight cups or more daily. Herbal teas count; soda and
energy drinks don’t.
Ready? Let’s begin.
Day 1 – Turn Down the Noise
Morning Kick‑Off
Start with warm water plus the juice of half a lemon. It wakes up digestion without the
caffeine. While you sip, set an intension for the next 72 hours: “I’m giving my body and mind a
chance to rest.”
Food Plan
For breakfast, have fresh fruit or berries or an avocado with a squeeze of lime and a dash of
sea salt. Lunch and dinner stick to whole foods you could picture growing or grazing:
vegetables, beans, eggs, brown rice, grilled chicken, or fish. Skip anything that comes in
crinkly plastic or has a long ingredient list. Your stomach gets a vacation from additives, sugar
spikes, and grease.
Screen Break
Delete or hide social media apps for the day. If you need a phone for work, turn off
non‑essential notifications. Expect mild boredom or “itchy fingers” reaching for the phone—
this is normal. It usually fades by tomorrow.
