Autumn is my favorite time of year. By early September, it feels like everything will depend on that “just right” cozy thing. It pauses, pulls out your favorite sweater and invites you to taste the little things. There is something quietly whispering in the golden light of September. “Let’s be late.” If you’re looking for something to do in September, trust me. You’ve come to the right place.
September always feels like the opening. This is an invitation to step into a new rhythm without the weight of expectations. I’ve come to realize how easy it is to rely on discipline as a way of control, but the truth is that the moment I felt most grounded recently came from softening myself. I’ve noticed that the last unforced changes are allowed. With that in mind, there are several ways to stay energized and inspired this month.
Gentle nudge
Maybe that’s what I’m asking myself, What little things can you do today to invite a little easier in the morning?
Journal prompt
Write two small rituals that will make your morning feel soft. Maybe it’s lit up a candle in front of your coffee, or you’re reading three pages of beautiful things before your to-do list steals your attention.
