Self-Care Isn’t Selfish—It’s Seasonal Wisdom 💛
As the energy of the season begins to shift, we find ourselves in Late Summer—a sacred transitional time between the high yang of summer and the quiet yin of fall.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is the season of the Earth Element—the energetic home of the Spleen and Stomach. These organs are at the core of our digestion, vitality, emotional stability, and our ability to feel centered, nourished, and at peace in our bodies.
This is your invitation to slow down, root deeply, and choose radical self-care as an act of love—not just for your body, but for your entire being.
🧡 Wisdom from the Earth Element:
When we are in harmony with Earth, we feel grounded, compassionate, and calm. When we are out of balance, we may experience:
Cravings for sugar or carbs
Digestive issues like bloating or fatigue after meals
Overthinking, worry, or feeling “ungrounded”
A tendency to caretake others more than ourselves
This season reminds us that we cannot pour from an empty cup. It’s time to replenish your inner reserves.
🌟 Late Summer Wellness Tips
5 Gentle Ways to Support Hormones, Digestion & Stress
1. Center Yourself with Nourishing Food
Warm, easy-to-digest meals calm the nervous system and strengthen your gut. Think: cooked root vegetables, stews, congee, and slow-roasted proteins. **Check out our amazing recipe below!
2. Regulate Blood Sugar to Stabilize Mood & Hormones
Include protein, healthy fats, and fiber at every meal to keep energy steady and reduce stress on the adrenals. *if you would like additional nutritional support, sign up for a Functional Wellness visit!
3. Ground Daily with a Ritual of Stillness
A few moments of breathwork, meditation, journaling, or walking barefoot on the earth will help calm a busy mind and bring your body back into rhythm.
4. Tend to Your Inner Caretaker
Do you give to others at your own expense? Practice saying no with love. Prioritize rest. Receive care. Let yourself be held.
5. Simplify Your Routine
Less is more. Late Summer is a time to declutter—both your to-do list and your physical space—to make room for inner clarity.
