Live according to the seasons. Work longer hours in the Summer, rest more in the Winter, observe the way animals behave seasonally and mimic them. No one gives them direction and yet they all seem to be able to discern the difference in length of day and ambient air temperature and act accordingly.
Eat food that you have raised or that has been raised locally or sourced from places you know and trust. Avoid processed foods at all costs. As much as possible eat seasonally; fresh fruits and vegetables in season, meat based diets in colder months. Fermented foods should be a constant in your diet to maintain gut health.Moderate alcohol intake is beneficial, so too are natural stimulants like tea and coffee, in moderation.
