Let’s hop on that fall bus!
Hi everyone! On this gloomy, rainy day, I’d like to share some thoughts about this toughest season transition of the year.
The shift from summer to fall can be particularly challenging, especially when it’s abrupt. Spring typically brings more light, warmth, longer days, blooming, and movement. Fall, on the other hand, demands something different: darker mornings, shorter days, colder weather, and a sense of nature’s cyclical closing.
So, perhaps the first step is to embrace the fall season. Fall is inevitable, and fighting it internally won’t make the days longer. Instead, I find it more beneficial to work with the season. Look for beauty deliberately—notice reflections in puddles, migrating birds, fog, wet leaves, and that unique fall light. Collect something small from it: press a beautiful leaf into a book, take a photo, or simply let yourself notice your surroundings.
Then, plan for the ride. Know yourself and what helps you get through fall and winter feeling your best. Maybe it’s a good coat to keep you dry in the rain, staying active with swimming, or increasing your light exposure. Perhaps you need more movement, more connection, or even some sun in the middle of winter if you know you need it.
We can’t control the season, but we can prepare for it, pay attention to it, and maybe even find a few things to love along the way.
What helps you make the transition into fall?
