Out of Sync with Nature and What It Is Costing Your Body | DIVO- Ted Talks

Lately I have been thinking about why so many people feel off, even when they are doing all the right things, and it keeps coming back to one idea. We are living out of sync with nature.⸻Quote from the Episode"There's so much disease because we're trying to live outside of nature and its influences and its qualities."⸻DescriptionIn this episode, I talk about the quiet ways modern life pulls us away from natural rhythms, from daylight and seasons to the broader cycles that shape mood, energy, and recovery. We look at why this disconnect can build stress in the body over time, and I share a simple challenge to help you tune back in and make your self care more effective.We plan our lives around calendars, responsibilities, and expectations, but the body runs on rhythm. Light, temperature, and season influence sleep, appetite, focus, and motivation. When we treat every week like it should feel identical, we often end up pushing harder at the exact times the body is asking for restoration.What it means to come back into sync? It starts with paying attention. Notice how weather affects your mood, how winter changes your stamina, and what your nervous system needs as the days shift. When your choices match the season you are in, your energy steadies, your recovery improves, and your wellness practice starts to feel more natural.⸻Show NotesIn This Episode, I explore:• Why modern schedules can override the body’s natural timing• What it costs to ignore seasonal and environmental changes• Why Ayurveda places such a strong emphasis on rhythm and nature• How meditation helps you reconnect to what your body is telling you• A simple way to start adjusting your self care without overthinking it⸻Highlights🌕 The 13th Moon: Why the calendar we use is mathematically "crazy" and out of sync.🌿 You are part of nature, and your body responds to it every day🍌 The Banana Problem: Why eating out of season and out of region keeps us disconnected.🧘 Plugging Back In: How the meditative science of yoga restores what you can't measure.🌦️ Sensory Awareness: Learning to listen to how the weather influences your heart and well-being.⸻Reflection PromptIn what areas of your life are you trying to force a "summer" level of productivity while your body is clearly in a "winter" state of exhaustion?⸻Practice PromptPick three days this week and write down three things each morning: the weather outside, one word for your energy, one word for how your body feels. Do not judge it. Just write it. By day three you will already start to notice something.__________Stay Connected:🌐 DIVOWellness.com📬 Subscribe to the DIVO- Ted Newsletter📍 DIVO Wellness — Greensboro, NC— 🧡 DIVO Wellness — Movement is the Way
