Chinese Medicine tells us that living according to the seasonal flow will maintain health and promote longevity. In the Summer, we work hard and play hard and enjoy all the extra hours of the day. Now that it is Fall, we are lead to sleep a bit more and restore ourselves after the busier, warmer months.
•
Autumn’s element is METAL. The organ systems that fall into the metal category are the Lungs and the Large intestine.
•
The lungs are in charge of the skin and their primary emotion is grief. To support the Lung system, try breathing exercises such as Qi gong or meditation. This can help strengthen the lungs as well as balance emotions. The Lungs are considered the most vulnerable organ to external invasion, which we know in the West as ‘colds and flus’. Wear a scarf and cover the back of the neck, where the cold air is known to invade. Staying hydrated is important this time of year as the air is dryer and that can lead to dry skin, lips, scalp, and mucous membranes. Pears are in season, and their skins are great at moistening dryness. Eat the fruit whole, or peel the skins and use to make a tea.
•
If you are prone to digestive sluggishness, make sure to keep your water intake up during the Fall months. The large intestine is in charge of “letting go” of what doesn’t serve us, whether that be waste or toxins that can hinder immunity, as well as old ideas and practices. It’s also time to let go of the excesses of Summer. As part of turning our focus inward, try making a list of priorities for the season, and let go of unnecessary projects, grudges, and tasks.
•
Warm, cooked foods aid in digestion and support us through the colder months. Try roasted root vegetables with pungent flavors like garlic, onions, and ginger.
•
Acupuncture is a perfect tool to support ourselves through each season. Immunity, digestion, and emotional balance are just a few of the systems that Acupuncture can support. While you are here, pick up some of our wellness soup mix, to add to your favorite soup recipe. ... See MoreSee Less

WHICH REASON REDUCES ANXIETY THE MOST?👇
.
🎨@positivelypresent 😊
✒@anxiety_wellbeing 🌱
.
🎃TRICK .
They all do 😊 so how?
.
🤔ENHANCED AWARENESS & PERSONAL GROWTH
More time focused on self improvement, reducing anxiety. Becoming aware of how you SPEND your time so that you can notice a cause of stress & start INVESTING in you. X #anxietyprevention
.
⏳MORE TIME
Less stress about havinv no time, rushing. Questioning & feeling guilty because you know you've gone and fine it agsin ; picked up the phone telling yourself 'just 30 minutes' the time goes by & it's been... oh flip!
.
📇INCREASED Self PRODUCTIVITY
When you spend less time on your phone an invest more time in self organisation, your head will feel clearer, feel more in control. My favorite saying is. 'Fail to prepare is preparing to fail' I've neber been proven wrong.
The stress of being unprepared is a big reason for anxiety for me. It adds to thoughts like 'i can't do this' & it's not bevsuse I can't but because I feel unprepared.
.
🛌BETTER SLEEP.
Less phone, more the for a slow down bedtime routine. Less thoughts before going to bed, in the calm zone not in the last minute scroll? Then feeling bad about it, the consumer with thoughts. Can't blooming sleep now. Plus a good night sleep will help heal from your day. Relax....
.
😍LESS COMPARING
If you have constant stream of subliminal publicity all aimed at showing you, you NEED to DO this. & focus on the other wellbeing activity, you will find it easier to focus on you & not what you are not; Perfect, sucked in, constantly smiling, a normal size, with a regular income. You know a human & not an advert. Self love. You are already perfect. Just being you.
.
😍TREAT
Doing a combination of all for yourself is a treat for your overall wellbeing & emotional health & it starts with becoming aware of how you SPEND your time.
Speak nicely to yourself
When you catch yourself 🤳* normal*
take a breath
Do not negotiate with yourself 'That's enought'
'Put the phone away'
'What could I do with this time?'
'Spend it or invest it?'
.
Whadayathink? 😎😎
