TRANSITIONING MINDSET……..FROM SUMMER TO FALL
This will be a little bigger shift for me how about you. This was the first time since 2006 that I took 3 months off from writing newsletters. I’m sure by October or November I’ll be back into the swing of things for the 2024/25 year coming up connecting to all my clients monthly.
The start of a new season brings about changes in the world around us, but it can also be a time to start change within ourselves. Each seasonal transition is unique—winter brings celebration, spring ushers in new growth, summer promises a sense of optimism. Autumn for fall is about reflective and nostalgic.
Each season is an opportunity to start fresh in one way or another, and this fall, please encourage yourself to embrace change and everything that comes with it.
Here are a few ways to help you transition your mindset from summer to fall:
Enjoy the Slowed Down Pace
If the excitement from summer is still lingering, you may not want to hit the brakes on all that fun momentum. Fall tends to bring a slower pace and a return to responsibilities and routine. Look at this as an opportunity to do all the little things you have been wanting to do. Here are a few ideas:
- Incorporate something new into your morning or evening routine. This will give you something to look forward to each day while also helping you with self-care.
- Be excited about fall food! Think hearty meals, soups, warming desserts, and tasty drinks. This is the perfect time to try a new recipe or bring back any personal or family favorites.
- Get cozy. Turn on the fireplace, make yourself a cup of tea, and settle in for a cozy fall night. Whether you watch a movie, read a book, or anything else, give yourself this time to enjoy feeling settled.
These days, there may be less room for spontaneous adventures or time in the sun, but your down time can still be spent well. So, admire the changes happening outside, take it easy, and embrace what this season has to offer. The beautiful fall colours, the fragrance, and crisp fresh air when going for walks
Be Reflective
Taking some time to be reflective is one of the best ways to transition your mindset. If you did a lot this past summer, use this time to reflect on all of those special moments, and then tuck them away in a way that makes sense to you. Curate a scrapbook, make a video, or print out pictures to hang up. Another great way to be reflective is to write in a journal. Here are some
Get Planning and Organizing
Getting back to business may seem mundane, but there’s beauty to be found in routine. Fall allows you the structure and downtime to sit and get some planning and organizing done. Especially since the two seasons that bookend this time of year tend to be filled with a flurry of activity—summer with vacations and winter with holiday planning.
All in all, fall is a beautiful time to slow down and take things in. It’s a marker of making it to the tail end of the year, and there’s a lot to process. So, breathe in those last lingering days of sunshine and exhale a comforting breath into the crisp, cool air. This autumn season is waiting for you.
