The best self-care routine for fall
Why you need a seasonal routine
Our bodies and the natural world are closely intertwined, something that’s easy to forget in our modern industrialized world. But many cultures have long known the importance of living with the seasons to maintain optimal health and wellbeing.
One that stands out as having been the most transformative for my health is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
The autumn routine
The routine I outline below is heavily influenced by TCM as well as natural healers that have been part of my health management over the years.
When I have a routine to plug into I feel so much more centered, especially when it creates moments of pause that give space to celebrate the natural changes happening around me. It’s so simple but profoundly affects my energy levels. Come join me!
