As summer fades into fall, we all seek our footing in this season of change.
At the same time, we want to keep the vibe of summer as long as possible. So, we will play a bit throughout August as we seamlessly shift from longer days of sun to the school year routine. All while keeping it light and staying curious.
Let’s get going.
It’s common for seasonal changes to throw us off balance. I know they do for me. The days grow shorter, and the evenings are a bit cooler. The amount of “time” I have appears to shrink – especially since I crave the sun (no matter the season or temperature). I can manufacture stress and worry about maintaining what exists.
How do you find your balance and stride with enthusiasm, confidence, and energy as summer wanes and seasons change?
