it's FALL, y'all! in chinese medicine, autumn is associated with the METAL element, which is about structure and boundaries. now is a time of year where we naturally turn inward, with longer nights and cooler temps. this particular time (the craziness of summer has waned, the hullabaloo of the holidays has not yet started) is the ideal time to set healthy habits...consider what kind of nutrition you want to be taking in, and how much...both physically with food, drink, and substances...as well as mentally with what we read or watch, and how it makes us feel.

Seems like everyone's into “alternative” or integrative medicine these days. But turns out, many of these treatments have been around for thousands of years. Here's theSkimm on tai chi, acupuncture, cupping, and more.

Dear Mother Earth,

Each morning when I wake up you offer me twenty-four brand new hours to cherish and enjoy your beauty.

You gave birth to every miraculous form of life.

Your children include the clear lake, the green pine, the pink cloud, the snowcapped mountain-top, the fragrant forest, the white crane, the golden deer, the extraordinary caterpillar, and every brilliant mathematician, skilled artisan, and gifted architect.

You are the greatest mathematician, the most accomplished artisan, and the most talented architect of all.

The simple branch of cherry blossoms, the shell of a snail, and the wing of a bat all bear witness to this amazing truth.

My deep wish is to live in such a way that I am awake to each of your wonders and nourished by your beauty.

I cherish your precious creativity and I smile to this gift of life.

- Thich Nhat Hanh a love letter to Mother Earth entitled "Your Beauty, Wonder & Creativity

while we are definitely still w a i t i n g to 'return to normal', i've been thinking about how we as a society value wealth over well-being. people work over 40 hours per week and 'don't have time' for self care :: cooking nutritious food, enjoying down time (with or without friends), exercise, fresh air, proper rest...what good is all of our 'stuff' if we don't have the fullness and spaciousness within our Selves to actually enjoy it / experience the Here and Now?

as we get back to "busy schedules", let's practice self care by holding on to those moments of spaciousness and quietude in between "doing".

"...Tim Harford put it, "Every time we say yes to a request, we are also saying no to anything else we might accomplish with the time.' Once you have committed to something, you have already decided how that future block of time will be spent.

In other words, saying no saves you time in the future. Saying yes costs you time in the future. No is a form of time credit."

Constantly saying yes to everything and everyone drains us of time and energy. This episode helps explain the roots of people-pleasing behaviors and how you can say no more often.
