Sleep & rhythm · 起居
Align sleep and waking without sacrificing rest
Turn “regular daily habits” into a sleep-and-meal pattern that fits work, caregiving, and the season.
Movement · 动而有节
Move regularly; leave room to recover
Read measured effort as activity supported by recovery, with an ordinary-session example.
Food · 饮食有节
Eat with the season; keep the meal balanced
Read food variety and five-flavour harmony together, then build a familiar meal around them.
Mind & emotions · 调神
Regulate the spirit through a manageable day
Connect keeping the spirit settled with quieter transitions, manageable demands, and supportive company.
