Summer<\/em> is such a unique season… one that can be filled with so much activity, light, brightness, gatherings, accomplishments, travel, and intense movement<\/strong>.<\/em>.. but it can also bring us some unbelievably hot days<\/em> that remind you almost daily of the need to plant more trees<\/em><\/strong>. =)<\/em><\/span><\/p>

I love<\/em> summer, but toward the end of it<\/em>… all that intensity<\/strong> also makes me love<\/em><\/strong> the moment when everything begins to change little by little, the temperature starts to drop, the days become shorter, the sun shifts its position in the sky, a certain quiet begins to settle into the spaces around us, there is a desire to spend a little more time at home and go out less, and a longing for more rest and fewer stimuli<\/strong>\u2026 that moment… when the energy of Fall slowly begins to arrive<\/em><\/strong>\u2026 aaahh, I love<\/em> that too. Sometimes, it comes as a relief….<\/em><\/strong> Like a long exhale, you know? aaahhhhhh! =)<\/em><\/span><\/p>

All of these sensations may begin to appear<\/strong> during February and March<\/em> in the Southern Hemisphere<\/strong> and during August and September<\/em> in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/strong> It is the time of the interseason and the beginning of Fall\u2019s arrival\u2026 and of your Fall self-care.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

And it is during these months that Fall\u2019s first invitation<\/em><\/strong> begins to arrive, which is simply this: <\/span>notice what is beginning to change within you… just notice… without needing to change everything right away. Yes, yes, slooowly! =)<\/b><\/p>

You have probably already come across articles online talking about letting go, endings, and \u201creleasing\u201d<\/em><\/strong> things when Fall arrives. <\/span>And yes, all of that is part of the symbolism of this season<\/em>. <\/span>But when we think about Fall self-care… maybe… BEFORE you start clearing things out, organizing, and bringing things to an end\u2026 it might make a lot of sense to simply allow yourself to pause for a moment after all the movement of Summer, observe yourself, and notice<\/strong> (when you have some time, answer these questions if you wish<\/em>):<\/span><\/p>

  • How is your energy feeling these days?<\/strong><\/li>
  • Do you feel any desire to slow down?<\/strong><\/li>
  • Do you still want to be as available to others?<\/strong><\/li>
  • Have some commitments started to feel tiring?<\/strong><\/li>
  • Is your body asking for more rest?<\/strong><\/li>
  • Does your home seem to be asking for more coziness?<\/strong><\/li>
  • Or are you still feeling a strong desire for movement and expansion?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>

    All of these questions and answers may give you clues about how you are feeling right now<\/em><\/strong>\u2026<\/span><\/p>

    • Are you really feeling this shift?<\/span><\/em><\/li>
    • Are you still trying to stay in\u2014or still living in\u2014the rhythm of Summer?<\/em><\/li>
    • If so, does that still feel good for you, or is it beginning to wear you out?<\/em><\/li><\/ul>


      Notice. <\/strong><\/span>Your body, your rhythm, your routine, what still makes sense right now.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

      And yes, in Traditional Chinese Medicine<\/em>, Fall is associated with the Metal element<\/em>, with turning inward, retreat, and the ability to distinguish what is essential from what we no longer need to carry.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

      And you have the entire season (and future Falls)<\/em> to gently<\/strong> explore these questions and bring this much-needed clearing into your life,<\/em> so move slowly and at your own pace.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
