Growth always begins with the first step.
🌿 What does TCM say?
The wood element is the power of spring - the energy that breaks through even frozen earth. When you seem to be stuck, it's not the end of the line. It is the moment when new strength gathers.
✨ Understand the silence:
What appears to be a blockage is often the moment before the breakthrough. Like a bamboo shoot that grows underground long before it becomes visible. TCM teaches us that every blockage is an invitation to understand and redirect our energy.
3 tips for overcoming blockages:
1️⃣ Set yourself a clear goal.
The first step needs a direction. The clearer your goal is in your mind's eye, the easier it will be to get moving.
💡 Tip: Take 5 minutes every day. Visualize your goal. Feel the energy that carries you there.
2️⃣ Start small.
Big changes start with small steps. A new habit can be the key to achieving bigger goals.
💡 Tip: Integrate one of these ROUTINES into your day:
✍️ 5 minutes of journaling for inner clarity
🧘♂️ 3 deep breaths for more presence
🏃🏻♂️ 10 minutes of exercise for activated life energy
3️⃣ Move your body to release blockages
The wood element loves movement. When the energy flows again, inner blockages are also released.
💡 Tip: The boxing exercise from Qi Gong is perfect for this. It frees the liver energy and releases pent-up frustration or anger.
