If you find it tough to focus either due to fatigue, stress, indecision, or neurodivergence, try this to help you break up indecision and move forward.

I learned this awesome trick from Tawnee at Wyldwood Creative. She owns a lovely craft and fabric store in downtown Renton, WA. She’s super funny, has tons of creative in person or virtual classes you can sign up for, and is just an all around wonderful human being. Check her out! https://www.wyldwoodcreative.com/

No magic wand here, just the sweet alchemical dance of persistence, dedication, and time weaving themselves together into your vision.

I must say the Capricorn vibe of this post makes me very happy 😂 🤷‍♀️ ♑

How do you stay motivated to stay engaged with the work? For me it’s regular laughter breaks, timed social media intervals, yoga, and getting out in nature.

How fast you fall asleep can have a lot to do with your internal levels of yin and yang, two interconnected forces that heavily impact your health in Chinese medicine.

In the evening and overnight you want higher levels of yin and lower levels of yang. Yin energy is slow, restful, cool, calm, and restorative. So in order to fall asleep faster, you want to cultivate your yin energy.

Slow down, do breathing exercises or yin yoga, drink calming tea, lower the temperature in your home, and avoid spicy food before bed.

Hot flashes can feel intense, unpredictable, and draining, but they’re also a message from your body that something needs cooling, calming, or clearing.

In this post, I share 3 simple, natural ways to reduce hot flashes from both a Chinese medicine and naturopathic perspective.
💧 Hydrate and rebuild yin
🍷 Skip the alcohol (it adds more heat!)
💦 Sweat intentionally to support detox
Your body is wise. You just need to support its signals!

And it’s up to you to discover what that something is! It’s a process to learn the language of your symptoms. They’re your body’s way of communicating that something isn’t right. Instead of trying to shut them down, listen. Get curious about where they came from.

Guidance from a holistic health professional like a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, or other healer can be invaluable. They know the language your body is speaking and can help you learn to translate it!

In Chinese medicine, your organs have their own natural biorhythms. Understanding these rhythms can help you tune into your health and get to the bottom of chronic issues with a fresh perspective.

Waking at 3AM often has to do with unprocessed emotions - especially anger and grief. 3AM is at the transition point between the liver (anger) and the lung (grief).

This simple acupressure protocol of Liver 14 and Lung 1 can help to eliminate a block in energy flow between those organs and help you get back to sleep.

Contrast hydrotherapy is a 100+ year old technique that’s incredibly effective for circulation issues and pain.

Plus it’s really relaxing so it’s a nice thing to do in the evening when you’re winding down.

The hot water draws fresh blood and nutrients to your feet and the cold water helps to push waste products and extra fluid back out.

It’s weird, but ending on cold will help to keep your feet warmer longer than if you ended with the warm water.

Increasing your water intake can immediately help with energy because the molecule that we use throughout our entire body for cellular energy, ATP, is activated by water!

So the next time you’re feeling sleepy or low, reach for some water instead of caffeine and see how you feel.

Increasing your water intake doesn’t have to happen overnight. After 2-3 weeks of drinking a little more water, your thirst signals will increase and it will be easier to hit your goals!

Happy water drinking!💧

Ever wonder why some people plan months ahead while others can’t even decide what’s for dinner tonight? 🗓️🤔

According to Chinese medicine, your elemental personality might be to blame (or to thank 😅).

The goal isn’t avoidance, it’s resilience, durability, and capacity in the face of stress.

Trust your body and your ability to adapt and regulate. You were literally built for it ❤️

Sugar cravings are super hard to kick and that’s because they’re not just about reducing your intake of sugar. Craving sugar can also be about your adrenal glands and your spleen according to Chinese medicine.

Your adrenal glands handle stress, electrolytes, and blood sugar and if they’re maxed out, they’re not going to be able to keep your blood sugar stable.

Your spleen is your most important digestive organ in Chinese medicine. Slightly sweet foods like sweet potatoes and oats support it while sugar depletes it.
