The natural world like trees also experience shifts in their health journey. One season a tree uses its energy to bear fruit. In the winter, that same tree has shed its leaves and is lying dormant conserving what energy it can to continue on. Life is seasonal, not just for the trees, but for ourselves as well. Understanding that your efforts in nutrition, fitness and mental health need to be fluid is essential. You need to be challenged to grow and you need to rest or conserve to be able to bear new fruit in time.
