7 Things To Create More Peace, Ease & Health In Your Autumn

1.Check In With Your Hydration & Not Just Water.

Are you drinking 1/2 your healthy body weight of pure filtered water in ounces each day? Are you loading up on your healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, nut butters, oils (unrefined coconut, olive, etc), wild salmon, cod, sardines, spirulina & supplementing with Omega 3?  Hydration of water & fats is sooooo important especially when we’re moving into Autumn or Vata Season.  Our environment becomes cooler & drier as the season presses toward Winter, and so do we. Staying lubricated is a must for getting ahead of cold and flu season with a strong immune system.

Finding the Light In The Dark.

The light, the dark, we need them both. And yet, sometimes the dark season seems long and hard. When we’re in the winter season, it’s time to slow, down, turn inward, become more quiet and introverted. And with this time for quiet, can also come a heaviness especially since, although the days become lighter after the Solstice, it still seems a long trek to the Spring.

So what can we do to bring a little bit more light & lightness into our wintertime to make it a little bit easier?

So, before the holidays really take off…I’m doing a week devoted to self-care. Would you like to join me?

This is what MY WEEK is going to look like, but you can do any variation or combination that suits YOUR schedule and needs. You can even start next week if you like. You’re the boss.
