Living in harmony with Nature's cycles

In today’s culture of glorifying the grind, the hustle, the go-go-go and the yang dominant attitude it is imperative we look back to mother nature and see that everything goes through cycles.⁠ ⁠
This is true of our bodies as well⁠

To achieve optimal health we need to balance;⁠

  • Work with rest⁠

  • Action with inaction⁠

  • Anabolism with catabolism⁠

  • Stress with recuperation⁠

  • Heat with cold⁠

  • Discipline with freedom⁠

  • Balance with imbalance⁠

Winter is the yin, restorative time.⁠

  • The time to sleep more⁠

  • The time to work less⁠

  • The time to relax more⁠

  • The time to look inward⁠

  • The time to eat warm foods⁠

  • The time to build your reserves⁠

  • The time for quiet⁠

  • The time to listen to your body and spirit

Honour that need⁠

What’s one practice you can implement to achieve greater balance?
