Spring is the season of growth and movement, but it can also stir up frustration when our energy feels stuck.
In TCM, this relates to the Wood element, linked to the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. The part of us that loves planning, direction, and freedom.
When that flow is blocked, pushing harder only adds pressure and tension, which often shows up as irritability, headaches, PMS, or digestive issues (hello reflux đ).
Supporting yourself doesnât mean doing more. It means helping your energy move:
⨠Gentle movement: stretching, yoga, or walks
⨠Fresh greens: seasonal veggies like leafy greens, sprouts, cucumber
⨠Releasing tension: journaling, breathwork, or acupressure \
You donât have to do them all. Pick one or two that feel comfortable and donât add any extra pressure.
This Spring, self-care isnât about adding more to your list.
Itâs about easing the pressure, moving energy, and giving yourself some breathing space đżđ
