Got that 'Monday' sluggish feeling like I do? Hope not, if so, a savory diet over the weekend can contribute to such a feeling. My solution for today and the next several days, having sautéed green leafy veggies slightly on the bland side; great way to cleanse and also reduce any swelling you may feel around your body.

Feeling sluggish this morning? I sure am! Wake-up the kidney energy and rub or gently tap the area behind the ears with your finger tips; an excellent way to awaken the mind and body.

Welcome back from a busy weekend of everything-under-the-sun and food! detox the body of fatigue and food overload by eating foods a little more bland than usual; less seasoning. Incorporate those green leafy veggies to clean out the liver and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! This will allow your digestive system to recuperate and regain its digestive Qi.

Replenish your Qi from the weeks activity by bringing in more oxygen into your body. This can come in the form of cardiovascular exercise and yoga. Breathing exercises such as meditation or prayer are also an excellent way to welcome fresh air into the body.

So this weekend, and every weekend, make it a joyful habit to replenish your Qi and wash out the body and mind with ‘fresh air’ exercises. Go out and smell the roses!
