The season of Autumn is represented by the Metal Element according to the Chinese 5 Elements. The Metal Element implements balance in our life through focus, routine and healthy boundaries. When we think about Metal in general, it has the ability to be strong yet malleable.

How does one take advantage of the Metal energy this season?

Focus on the present moment.

Cultivate a consistent daily routine that has room for flexibility.

Create healthy boundaries according to how you feel.

Focus

Learning how to let go of the past is one of the most important lessons we learn in our life. Based on personal experience, it’s healthy to give yourself the space and time you need to process emotions and to not give yourself a deadline on this. When we have the ability to fully let go of old patterns and emotions that no longer serve us, we are able to fully embrace and focus on the present moment.

Routine

When we practice a daily routine that brings peace to our body/mind we are able to overcome daily tasks more efficiently. Feeling overwhelmed with too many tasks to complete on our to-do list, makes us more susceptible to distractions and procrastination. Sometimes sitting down and creating a short-term or long-term plan is all you need to give yourself a deep breath of calmness.

Boundaries

Learning to politely decline invitations or projects that push us past our emotional/mental/physical limits will help us to maintain our balance. It’s essential to listen to how you are feeling in all three aspects to maintain a healthy life.

In conclusion, we can take advantage of these three methods to reap the full benefits of the metal energy this season. Wellness on Whyte wishes you all best this Autumn season!
