Also think about setting goals for yourself each season. So you're working with, you know, three men programs are what you're going to eat supplement with. Incorporate exercise regularly, we all need different levels of exercise. But one thing we do know is you do need to be exercising alongside regime oxygenation and getting the body moving, being outdoors getting sunlight, and also thinking about positive mental attitude alongside diet.

When you're working with seasons, it kind of gives you something to work for every season and sort of focus on so supplements can change with that and also naturopathic techniques. So there may be different techniques to use during each season. And that could be based on which organs are relevant to that season. Also what you may be working on based on your lifestyle at that point. So within every year we have the five seasons in the Chinese system, starting with sudden the season which starts on June 25. There's this in the Chinese system relates to the small intestine, the circulation and the heart.

And there's a color for each season which relates to those organs and so incorporating those feelings and colors within the lifestyle and diet. So for summer season the colors are pink, red and green and the flavor that these students that system is bitter flavors. So you've picked a greens you've done the lion and Rouge, chicory using naturally bitter flavors can really be a big boost for that season. The next season after that is earth element. It starts around the first week of August this season is relationship with the spleen small the stomach and also the pancreas. its relationship with the blood sugar as well so naturally the sweet flavor will boost this area and also root vegetables and the colors are orange, yellow, and brown.

And those natural colors will actually boost those organs. So thinking about the sweet corn and butternut squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes, carrots and those sort of things. And when we say balanced in this season then it has a really powerful effect on the digestive system has to not only have the metal season sometimes in its air. This starts on September 21 and his relationship with the colon and skin lens and the mind. The color is white and the flavor is spicy. And this element is really important to balance for mental health.

The main focus and foods that can be really beneficial are the white foods you know the white pears and parsnip, radish, turnips and also brown rice can be really effective as a co lon and also linseed So could you so concede after that then we have the water elements that starts on December 21. This season his relationship with the kidneys and bladder, the color is blue, black and purple. And the flavor is naturally salty foods like me so and you see salt and maybe pink Himalayan salt, celery juice, and also the purple foods like red kidney beans, de beans, beetroot radish again can be beneficial. So using the sort of balance of color and flavor and using the combination of the five flavors generally throughout the day or even within just within one meal can be useful. After the winter season we have the wood element which is spring spring is March 21.

And they season his relationship with the liver and gallbladder and also the color is green and the flavor is sour. So your cider vinegar your lemon juice lime juice in water share happens naturally sour foods like sauerkraut and fermented foods can be really beneficial for this system. And also anything green make your green juice and your green vegetables has a really powerful effect on cleansing the liver. So that really beneficial time of year for really stepping up on your detox program.

Even if the sun is in relatively hot, do you want to be outdoors to get the oxygen in also getting the diet and a basic sort of good structure for you that works for you, and getting your supplement regime on top form.

And then naturopathic techniques may be used in Congress as more in the spring season, relationship to the liver may be thinking about booking your colonic or animals around the colon season, which is the autumn season.

So thinking about what you might use ahead of time and getting your program planned before the season changes. And knowing also that around every seasonal change, there is often a slight disruption for about two weeks around the date of the seasonal change. And that's a normal process. It's an opportunity to play And this opportunity to move forward in a more dynamic way for the next season. And it helps us to slow down and makes us think about what we need to get out of the season. And also plan ahead.

So step two goal setting and thinking about what we need on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. So a great time really to take stock and look ahead. And in regards to making changes I always say to people, if you can just make three changes on a weekly basis to lifestyle so you're rotating your supplements or rotating your your diet so you have is not sticking to too much a versatile rigid plan that you're actually keeping some structure in place but also creating change as well. So three different things you can bring into your life on a weekly basis. And maybe also think about you know what you're feeling that you can't give up often what you feel is the most difficult to give up. This probably the thing that is holding you back from becoming more vibrant within your body or your or your mind so often, you know, it might be difficult initially in the first 10 days to give up fats, for example, to give up sugar.

But after that 10 days, you then move forward in a more dynamic way and it becomes much easier longer term. So there may be an addiction, it hidden away within your lifestyle that you find it difficult to work with. But I think challenge yourself in over the season, what you might give up just for that season and just to see the benefits of that. So keep moving forward. Everything changes everything is in a continuous movement of changing changing your body and see every season as an opportunity for change.
