Pure Joy Acupuncture

The rain has come. There is a chill in the air and the trees are changing colors and shedding their leaves. Cozy weather has arrived!
If you’ve been following me for several seasons, you know that East Asian medicine recommends shifting your sleeping, eating, and exercising patterns with the season to maintain optimum health.
During fall & winter you are meant to slow down, do less, and sleep more.
If you’re feeling caught between your desire to hibernate and do very little and to produce a beautiful holiday for family and friends, you are not alone!
Finding balance in any season is about choosing activities that fill you with joy and replenish you while saying no to those that don’t.
One idea for a smooth holiday season: prioritize what’s important.
Check in with yourself- what do you need to make it feel like a holiday celebration? Is it making your mother’s famous pie recipe? Going for a walk with the family after a meal? Certain decorations on the table?
Focus on what makes it feel like a holiday to you and let go of Pinterest-perfect recipes & IG-inspired decorations if that is that what matters to you.
