Tis the season that we try to avoid yet we know we can not hide. Yes, that’s Tax Season Anxiety right there! It’s understandably daunting to face that pile of crunched up receipts, calculate how you can save, and find that trustworthy software or professional to assist you. Don’t we wish to sing “We don’t talk about Bruno Tax, No No No”?
Fortunately our Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) guide to tackling Tax Season is here to help you. You will learn:
- How does Spring Season relate to Tax Season
- Which Acupuncture Points help improve concentration
- What is the best time for work/study performance
Spring is to Sprout
According to the 2000 year old TCM text, Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classics, the best way to maintain longevity is to live in accordance to the season. Spring signifies new beginning, growth, and letting go of the old. Imaging a seedling sprouting, it needs that space and let loose from the seed. Any restraints will tend to easily anger one’s emotions during Spring. Some tips for this Season:
- Sleep a little later (11pm) and wake early
- Stretch out tendons
- Let your hair loose (crazy hair day allowed)
- Stay optimistic and venture out
- Feed into new growth energy
Since Tax Season falls in Spring, why not utilize the power of Spring. Think Spring Cleaning! Be optimistic about your ability. Endeavor, set out an attempt to achieve what you dread. Take stretch breaks in between.
Acupuncture Points for Concentration
The miraculous point for better memory, concentration, and centering is called Si Shen Cong (四神聰). It is made up of a group of 4 points, with each directing towards the center. Si Shen Cong can also calm headache, dizziness, and help with better sleep. You may massage it at home with finger nails, or even better, get Acupuncture!

The Best Time in the Day to Work
According to TCM, there are 12 Meridians in the body. Each of them gets to be in charge for 2 hours in the 24 hour period. Sounds fair right? There are 2 Meridians that give us best work/study performance, as well as concentration. So arrange your work, study, or tax preparation around these times for peak performance.
