To achieve inner peace, peace of mind, peace of mind, to avoid feeling sad. Even if you encounter sad things, you should actively resolve them to avoid cold air, and at the same time, you should converge to adapt to the calm air in autumn.
Second, daily aftercare
It is the time when the weather is crisp in beginning of autumn. It is good for chickens to go to bed early and get up early. Going to bed early conforms to the convergence of yang, and getting up early stretches lung qi to prevent excessive convergence. Beginning of autumn is the season of early autumn, and the heat is not over. Although there is a cool breeze, the weather is changeable. Even in the same area, there will be a situation of "four seasons in one day and different days in ten miles".

Pay attention to your daily life and diet.
Third, exercise recuperation.
Entering autumn is a good opportunity to do all kinds of exercises. Everyone can choose different sports according to their own specific situation. Here, I would like to introduce you to an autumn health-keeping exercise, that is, the "autumn breathing fitness method" contained in the Taoist Jade Axis Sutra.
Breathing and health care in autumn
Specific practice: after washing in the morning, close your eyes and sit quietly indoors. Knock your teeth 36 times first, and then stir in your mouth with your tongue. When your mouth is full of liquid, rinse it several times and swallow it three times, then send it to the abdomen, stop for a while and take a deep abdominal breath slowly. When inhaling, lick the upper jaw with your tongue and inhale through your nose in order to send it to Tian Dan. Exhale slowly from your mouth. When you exhale, you should say the word silently, but don't make any noise. Repeat this 30 times. Adhering to this work in autumn has the effect of protecting the lungs and strengthening the body.
Fourth, prevent colds.
After beginning of autumn, you can obviously feel that the temperature difference between day and night is getting bigger. The high temperature during the day will start to cool down at night. Therefore, if citizens do not pay attention to changing clothes according to the temperature changes, they will easily catch a cold. Remind the public to pay more attention to clothing and rest at home, not to be greedy for cold, to prevent catching cold at night.
Prevent a cold
Some citizens are used to sleeping shirtless at home, the air conditioning temperature is set too low, and the cold invades the body at night, causing diseases such as colds and shoulder and neck pain. Experts said that after beginning of autumn, the general public should not turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day in their home environment, especially at night, and try to turn on the air conditioner as little as possible. You can often open the window for ventilation in the morning and evening when it is cool to keep the indoor air fresh.
Five, diet aftercare
Su Wen on the Method of Dirty Qi says: "The lung governs autumn ... the lung converges, and when eating acid, it is urgently harvested, supplemented with acid, and diarrhea." It can be seen that sour taste converges lung qi, while pungent taste diverges and clears lung. It is advisable to collect in autumn, try to eat less spicy products such as onions and ginger, and eat more sour fruits and vegetables. In autumn, lung gold is smooth, but lung gold is too abundant to hinder liver wood, so there is a saying in synopsis of golden chamber that "don't eat lung in autumn" and nourish it in autumn.
Dry qi in autumn is in season, which is easy to hurt body fluids. Diet should nourish yin and moisten lungs. "Diet to Start" says: "Autumn is dry, so you should eat hemp to moisten it, but not drink cold". There are even people who advocate eating raw porridge in autumn to nourish yin and moisten dryness. In short, you can eat some soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, japonica rice, honey, loquat, pineapple and dairy products in autumn, which will benefit your stomach and promote fluid production.
